I should add that you should drive the K2 audio sufficiently, then adjust the power knob for the desired power output. Attempting to use the audio level to adjust the power output will result in "Power Hunting" and could be the cause of some of your problems. The proper audio level for the K2

How old is this K2? Those K2s with Serial Numbers below 2560 have the original IF crystals. You will achieve a flatter passband if the crystals on the KSB2 board (and the RF Board) are replaced with the upgrades crystals. If your KSB2 card is older, check the resistors on that board against

Victor's point is a good one.  Thus the question are you working full QSK or semi-QSK?   If the  TX Delay is long,  default is about 8 ms as I recall,  it will put in the required space for the correct timing to key an external amplifier.  This can occur between every CW element in QSK mode.

Make sure you have no equalizing in the audio output somewhere (that is important for any transceiver, btw). Also check the SSBA and SSBC options in the menu, maybe the selected compression ratio is not ideal for FT8.  See KSB2 manual regarding "PowerControl and ALC". You could test this with

There were known changes in the version up to resolve a bug in a previous version. If the WSJT Tune frequency is 1500 Hz, there is a beating between 1500 and the refresh rate of the ALC displayed value. Simply move the TX audio frequency up or down to eliminate this. Makes for MUCH easier
