Thanks Don, I think I can get a handle on most of that except the swapping LSB/USB. If my interpretation is correct I should generally set the K2 to RTTY without Rev and it'll automatically select LSB or USB depending upon band? Rev would be used only in special circumstances? I'll dig through

Dennis, Yes, the K2 takes care of the LSB/USB swap for bands 15 meters and above. Whether you want USB or LSB depends on the digital mode you are using. Most modes work in USB (RTTY REV) just fine (some like PSK31 will work with either), but RTTY itself typically uses LSB. 73, Don W3FPR On

I'm trying to get my K2 (SN 5711) working on digital modes, initially just WSPR. I have the fixed audio output wired to pin 5 of the Mic header, going to a Signalink USB which is working fine. Audio in/out, keying, all just fine. If I transmit on WSPR my signal is being heard on 80m whether

Dennis, First a clarification - if the band is below 15 meters, RTTY is LSB and RTTY REV is USB. You don't have to worry about that on bands above 15 meters because the K2 automatically makes the corrective swap, but when aligning the filters, use a band below 15 meters so as not to mix the
