When I use my (recently built) K2 for CW, I find that stations that respond to me are always about 100Hz too high infrequency - meaning that I have to use RIT to listen to them at about 100Hz lower in frequency than the frequency at which I'm sending.
I assume that this indicates an alignment issue in my rig, but I'm a little unclear as to what it is that needs adjusting and would appreciate advice as to what to adjust and how. For information purposes, I have my sidetone pitch set at the default of 600Hz. Also, in general, I would like to calibrate the rig using WWV at 10MHz. Since WWV transmits AM and the K2 has only sideband, I have recorded the frequency where I lose the upper tone while listening on lower sideband (10.000.03) and the frequency where I lose the lower tone while listening on upper sideband (9.999.04). I think that means that I'm pretty close on the calibration, but I'm not sure. Any help in understanding how to best use WWV on a sideband-only receiver would be appreciated.
