If the tone pitch change is 20 Hz or less it is because of the quantizing

Well, something CAN be done about it, if you don't mind changing the filter
bandwidth slightly. For example, suppose that you have set a filter to 400 Hz
bandwidth and located the BFO so that the signal is centered in the filter, and
suppose that the result is that the pitch of the centered signal comes out 10
Hz. high. Just change the bandwidth to 420 (or 380) Hz., readjust the BFO and
let the K2's magic algorithm do its work. Chances are it will come out on
pitch. I have been able to adjust all of my filters so that there is no change
in pitch when I cycle through them.
