Perhaps you have your Width open too wide for CW, remember, you don't need to
have it open 2KHz wide to use CW. Perhaps you have your notch filter on Auto
with SSB and off with CW? Perhaps you have no NR on or NB on while in CW but do
with SSB? Or perhaps you have a DIFFERENT NR setting on for CW than SSB, or
even worse, the WRONG settings.. Keep CW at 1-4 and SSB at 5-8 on the NR.
Otherwise, you should be getting the same amount of gain in SSB as you do CW.

Hey guys! New Elecrafter
here...building myself a K1 and having a LOT of fun.
Altogether, I'm assembling the K1 with 4-band filter, noise
blanker, and tuner.
I've built a lot of smaller kits in the past, but this has
been by far the most ambitious build yet. I'm happy to
say that studying all of the builders' guides and
instructions have kept me from running off the road. I
do, however, have one question for the group.
Specifically, I have reached the point in construction (Ch.
7, Pg. 39) where I am to perform receiver alignment.
The instructions suggest, in preference order, a signal
generator, another ham transceiver, or an antenna.
Since things have gone so well this far, I am motivated to
use the best option and hopefully continue my success
through this step.
I don't have a signal generator, per se. I do,
however, have a VE3DNL marker generator assembled and
functioning. Would this be appropriate to use for the
intended purpose, or do I need a transmitter that is
natively (that is, not through harmonics like the VE3DNL
does) transmitting in-band? Alternatively, would the
Elecraft XG2 be a better tool for the job?
I am building for 40,30,20, 15but the XG2 is
3-band only?
Thanks to all for help and kindness to this newbie!
