Chris -
Do not be misled by the fact that on CW the K2 transmits on the frequency as displayed, whereas many of the oriental black boxes transmit a fixed number of Hz (maybe 600Hz) different to the displayed frequency to give the required offset.

I have encountered a similar problem with working black boxes on 144MHz with my K2/KXV144 combination.

I find that the best way is to call on the K2 and then tune the black box for a suitable beat note. You'll find that the two displays will differ by about 600Hz.

OK, I think I have sussed the problem. Now I need the solution, which I suspect is re-alignment.

- K2 tuned to 3500, FT1000MP tuned to 3500.
- Transmit on K2 and hear signal on FT1kMP, within 40Hz.
- Transmit on MP
- Nothing heard on K2
- Tune around and signal audible on 3498.90   --- 1100Hz low

Suspect I have the BFO on the wrong side.  Back to the drawing board!
