G'day, <quote> Bad: The tone of the 2B is noticeably smoother and purer than the K2. The K2, while it has a good S/N ratio, has a bit of a hollow tone and a bit of a raspy or bearly edgey CW tone. The 2B is very pure sine wave. Very mellow, very nice to listen to. <unquote>
This has troubled me for quite a while. Sometimes all CW sigs seem to have a harsh tone and then you tune into another station that is a pure note, very odd. Also the chirpy signals seem to be a nice note, albeit varying. I'm beginning to wonder if there is a harsh note built into some of the modern synth rigs. SSB sounds OK. The harmonic of the 4MHz oscillator up on 10M sounds OK, and is a bit of a reality check. However, that is a single tone, there might be some problem with the af when a lot of signals are present within the passband. I tend to run the af gain pretty low and have the KDSP2 installed. Maybe someone suitably equipped could investigate the af situation.
