Garry, To get the best filter alignment (both SSB and CW), use Spectrogram. Take a look at the K2 Dial Calibration article on my website www.w3fpr.com as well as the information provided by Tom Hammond on aligning the K2 filters using Spectrogram at both www.n0ss.net and the Elecraft Builder's Resource page.
The settings in the manual will provide you with usable filters, but they are not necessarily optimum. Spectrogram allows you to optimize the filters for your particular K2 - If you have perfect pitch, then your ear can likely do as well as Spectrogram, but some of us are not blessed with that gift. 73, Don W3FPR 2rGarry wrote: > Thanks for the suggestions guys.
