Robert,

Do you have the KDSP2 installed? If so, check the nr and nt settings in the DSP menu. If you see a dot before either or both, turn them off and see if the distortion goes away. Those functions, if used with aggressive settings will cause distortion.

The sidetone is fed separately and does not go through the DSP processor.

If that is not the problem, then you likely have mis-aligned IF filters. I recall I have worked on your K2 before, and you should have a chart of the filter settings. I can tell you how to restore the proper settings via off-list email.

#5957 has been on the shelf for a while [2yrs]. When fired up in prep for Field Day, the received CW tone is significantly distorted in head phones on all bands. The side tone frequency set is very clean as is the adjustment for side tone volume. I have no test equipment at this time, so it's pretty much menu items and adjustments or send it to Don. Suggestions welcome. Thanks.
