Just finished Don Brown's noise generator to tune up my K2 (thanks Don).
Everything looks good except.....  When hooked up to my K2 with 2 foot
section of coax, AF gain set to about 1/2, RF gain set to max I get the
following readings.

      Spectrogram     K2
Band   level (dB)   S meter
160      nil          <S1
 80      -37           S20
 40      -37           S20
 30      -37           S20
 20      -40           S9
 17      nil          <S1
 15      nil          <S1
 12      -37           S9
 10      -38           S8

From the looks of things I'd say the noise generator is working just fine and
I have a problem with the 160, 17 and 15 meter bands on my K2.

Also, although I did do the 2nd XFil SSB Tuning Mod, the filter response on
the bands that work still roll off at the high end.
