Dick, It does sound like your filters (actually BFO settings) may need some TLC and alignment. This is one of the problems with buying a used K2, one never knows if the settings used by the previous owner were 'standard' or were even correct in the first place.
The good news is that it can easily be corrected. You will need the counter probe, so if you did not get one with your used K2, you will have to order the probe kit from Elecraft. I highly recommend using Spectrogram when aligning the filters - it gives you a visual picture of the adjustment results. I have a complete K2 dial calibration and filter alignment procedure on my website http://w3fpr.qrpradio.com and the Elecraft website has several items on the Builder's Resource page that will help you set up Spectrogram. The last freeware version of Spectrogram is available for download at Tom Hammond's website www.n0ss.net and is more than adequate for this task. 73, Don W3FPR > -----Original Message----- > > Recently purchased a nice used K2/100.
