OK Eric... I just picked up my radio used, and I haven't checked the
alignment yet... this was just an impression I had. I'll put it on the
bench and make some measurements before commenting further.

We designed the KDSP2 to improve ultimate SSB filter ultimate
rejection in the K2.
The KDSP2, with its brick wall SSB filter settings, when cascaded
after the KSB2 filter, totally eliminates any residual leakage from
strong signals outside the passband. It also tightens the net filter
shape factor. The ultimate rejection is 60-75 dB on the xtal filter,
which means a strong residual off freq. signal will not activate the
K2's AGC, allowing the DSP to do its job without signal degradation.
This is how I run my K2 and I hear no difference with strong off
frequency signal blow-by between it and the other $3K+ rigs we have in
the lab. :-)

Sounds like the age old debate in the hifi world about the "sweet"
sound of tube amplifiers vs. the "hard" sound of clearly superior
modern solid state amps.
Preferences aside about slopes and shape factors... I'd like to have
MUCH better ultimate rejection... and a true rf clipper would be a
nice addition, especially when using QRP.
