Rick, Did you record ALL your menu settings (including the filter settings) before you did the Master Reset, and have you restored all of those menu settings after the reset?
If the answer is NO, then you have some calibration and filter setting work ahead of you. Go to my website www.w3fpr.com and take a look at the K2 Dial Calibration article - those are the steps you must follow. But your situation is different than most, so before doing anything else, put the internal counter probe into TP2 and set the SSB FL1 filter to OP1 (it is currently at 2.20 which is the variable filter default) - then set the BFOs for LSB and USB FL1 to whatever frequencies produce the passband placement with the low frequency corner at approximately 300 Hz. Once that is done, start with the K2 Dial Calibration instructions using WWV (or other standard frequency station) to properly adjust C22 on the Control Board. After you get the filters and dial calibration correct, then we can talk about how to diagnose your other K2 ills. 73, Don W3FPR On 12/10/2011 7:56 PM, Rick Wheeler wrote: > I have a K2 No. 2005 (owned and built since new) with the outboard ATU/100 > watt setup.
