Pardon me if this is a dumb question, I'm still in the process of building my K2. Is there any CW performance penalty in a K2 with the SSB option installed? The SSB board has its own filters, correct? Do the existing CW filters remain unchanged? thanx, harry KD0NFY -- Have old memories and

Check the fuse. The folks at the factory don't know whether you will use 115V or 230V to power the amplifier, so the safe thing is to not install a fuse. Look for an envelope with the fuses you need in the packaging. 73! Jack Brindle, W6FB On Oct 21, 2013, at 9:03 PM, David Helman

Harry... There is no CW performance penalty when the SSB option board is installed. The filter can be setup for CW independent of the SSB board filter when receiving. The K2 can be configured to use the K2 basic filter in a wide/ssb mode when receiving, but this is a less than an optimal

There's no compromise of CW performance. In fact, it gives you the option of a flatter bandpass if you want a wide CW filter (more than about 1 kHz). On 10/22/2013 9:05 AM, Harry Stone wrote: Pardon me if this is a dumb question, I'm still in the process of building my K2. Is there any CW

John, I am sorry that I forgot about the RX SHIFT which turns off Dual RX. I am glad that you found the problem source. Yes, reading the manual is important, but there are subtle things like RX SHIFT disables Dual RX that are not apparent at first sight. 73, Don W3FPR On 10/21/2013 6:00
