Hi, Robert,
Yep -- I am sure that is what it is. You have confirmed what other
people have told me and I will change the BFO this weekend. It is
sure nice to have the resources and experience that I have found on
the Elecraft reflector.
Well, I think filter settings are a lot a chile recipe. Different
people have different ideas of what is good and bad. But having said
that, I am happy to share what works best for me.
I haven't owned the K2 for that long. I also have a K1 and an
IC-746pro. Both of these have different filtering setups, and the
IC-746pro has DSP, but implemented much differently than the K2. So
my settings are the result of experimentation.
I have my 2nd crystal filter set for 800 Hz. I have found that this
is a great compromise between the 1st filter (wide open) and the
narrower filters. This then feeds 800 Hz bandpass to the DSP. So I
just keep the crystal filters at that setting.
The DSP I have set up with 800, 400, and 200 Hz. Noise reduction is
on and set to 2. When I am searching for a signal I keep it at 800.
Once I find the signal I have the option of narrowing the DSP to 400
or 200 if the band is busy.
I have tried both the "soft" and "regular" CW filter settings on
DSP. Honestly, I don't see much difference. However, after
operating on a couple of contests I decided I liked the way things
worked with the regular setting (big 'C' on the filter window) a
little better.
Anyhow, this works for me. Thanks again for your help on the BFO
issue!

Perhaps you have your BFO set in the middle of the wide band. That
way you'd get a tone on either side. That said, I sure would like
to hear about the CW filter settings that you found useful.
Thanks in advance.
