Just a quick note on using the KDSP2 filtering --
For best overall operating (especially in crowded band conditions), it is always better to use XFIL to narrow the IF filter first, then use AFIL to add the KDSP2 filtering if necessary.

That keeps the level of strong adjacent signals to a minimum and prevents overload of the AGC (and the resulting receiver de-sense).

I do see several operators who use only the DSP filtering, leaving the preceding IF bandwidth 'wide open' - not the best way when the bands are crowded.

I think it's good once you get it adjusted. Adjusting it is a bit complex.

You might want to look at the KDSP2 manual http://www.elecraft.com/manual/KDSP2_A1.pdf How to operate it starts on p. 23 or so.

Once it's set up, I'd not want to use my K2 without it.
