Paul,

In the CW mode, the sidetone oscillator Phase/ Frequency modulates to some degree the BFO, thus the sidebands appear around the carrier. I mention this only for "information purposes" as I doubt that the raspy sound you are getting is related to this problem. From my K2/100 the sidebands are some 80db below carrier (measured on 40m). The sidetone signal gets into the BFO varicap circuit at U8 on the Control Board in my K2/100.

If Ron's suggestion does not solve the problem, can you listen to the BFO and VFO signals?

Geoff,
I did try this but it didn't solve it.

What I have found is that I was wrong in believing the CW was OK - its not - it has a very raspy signal to it. So I will try to track that down first.

I am confused about the behaviour of U2 on the SSB board - it seems to take a long time to ramp up if it is setting the PWR level. However, before I worry much more about this one, I'll try and track down my raspy CW signal first.
