Peter, As you say the K2's CW performance can't be praised too highly, however in my opinion the SSB side is unfinished business. You might like to look at my web site for some idea of what is wrong, and how to improve it. http://homepages.nildram.co.uk/~baker/ 73 Stewart G3RXQ On Sun, 13

Having an FT857D and TS570D, when I compare the CW performance of my K2 with them, the K2 wins every time. Due in no small part to the narrow roofing filter inherent in a single conversion receiver, the good and quiet solid state change over and the low noise receiver. On SSB the differences are

I bought a K2 for SSB use ( + DSP option ). In various reviews ( e.g. EHAM ) I noticed that K2's CW performance can't be praised too highly, but there is a bit reserve as to the SSB performance. In which respects - if at all - lags the SSB performance ? And what would cause this ? Thanks for

Hi Peter, I think the K2 works as great on SSB as well as CW. For the last two years I've set up mine for the SSB station for Field Day with another nearly identical K2 built by my neighbor (well, about 5 miles away) used on CW. Of course the CW station did more QSOs than the SSB station
