Tom, It should shift exactly by the amount of your sidetone pitch. That is the way the CW offset works - there is no offset on LSB or USB, but CW is offset so you can read the frequency of the signal on the K2 display, but be able to hear it by placing the BFO off to one side or the other by the amount of the sidetone pitch.
The K2 always displays the frequency of the carrier. If you want to figure it out, you might relate it easiest to a direct conversion receiver - listening to SSB, you can hear the voice if the receiver is tuned to the suppressed carrier frequency, but in CW if you tune to the carrier frequency, the signal would be 'heard' at zero Hz. The receiver must be tuned off to the side of the signal to hear it at a sidetone pitch. The K2 does that automatically (and is a superhet instead of a DC receiver), but the principle is the same. 73, Don W3FPR > -----Original Message----- > > This is probably a stupid question - the answer to which I should probably > know - but I just can't see it. > > I have (I think) properly adjusted my K2 (4991) using Spectogram. > > If I tune in a CW signal with the mode switch in U or L, and then > mode to C, > the signal shifts about 600 Hz. > > _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
