If you have the K2/100, remove the KI6WX mod - without the KPA100, it
makes no difference.
Make certain the SSB FL1 filter is set to OP1.
Check the position of the OP1 filter passband with Spectrogram . The
low frequency 'knee' of the passband should be close to 300 Hz.
If you are wondering what I mean about the 'knee' of the passband, look
at the top of the passband shape and then look to the left (low
frequency end). Find the place where the passband response is about 3
dB less than the flat of the passband - that point is the 'knee' that
you need to place close to 300 Hz.
Be aware that many VHFers want to hear very wideband audio but the K2
cannot produce that. You should have good communications quality audio -
test on HF.

Look at? your KSB2 board.? If CB and CN positions are populated, you
have the narrow 2.1 khz filter width.
On my Rev-A K2, I've changed crystals, changed the filter capacitors
for 2.6kHz, and made the drive modifications from KI6WX (I'm driving
transverters on 10m).
People complain that the audio doesn't sound right, and the
Spectrogram grapth is far from flat. I'm OK with RX audio but people
complain about my TX audio.
Is there any way to make the passband flatter, or to make the audio
"fuller"?
I am aware that TX and RX can use different filters and adjusted for
that. I just worry about the TX reports I am getting.
