John When the K2 is finished and it's time for alignment, many of us use a noise generator to feed the receiver, the Spectrogram audio spectrum analyzer program to set the filters up for the best results, and an oscilloscope to display the resulting filter passbands. I believe the free version of Spectrogram is still available on N0SS' web page. There are several noise generator kits around, not very complicated at all. I believe Elecraft also has one. It would be an easy kit for your son to knock out along the way. Good luck and 73 Bob N6WG
