I was able to use Elecraft's N-gen wideband noise generator (available on the mini-module page at Elecraft's website) together with Spectrogram to pretty handily do most of the alignment. I was at the alignment stage late last year when 15 meters and above were pretty much dead here in New England and so some sort of signal generator was needed .... the N-gen was just the thing (fairly inexpensive and very easy to build). It's also a great tool (with Spectrogram) for setting filter widths. I have since acquired an old HP signal generator, so I can now accurately set the S-meter ... but I operated happily for almost a year setting the S-meter according the instructions in the K2 manual ... not very accurate, but also not crucial to my operation. I did the dial calibration using the N6KR method that Don has on his web site. I recently (with the HP signal generator) re-did the calibration, but I found that I already was within a few hertz using the method described at Don's site (!).
