[Elecraft] A Goof?

Finally found a few minutes to sit down at the rig. Fired up the K2, blew
off the dust, and started calling stations in the DX contest. No luck at
all. Put the boots on at 300W out. Still no success. Very suspicious.
Checked the K2 sig on another receiver. Found that the TX frequency was
about 1.8 kHz different from the RX  frequency. Checked CW-REV, and it is
OK!  Called stations with CW-REV, and no problem....worked on first call,
even at 5 watts.

Looks like I must have set the BFO on the wrong side of the passband for
CW-normal when I installed the new firmware and went through the whole
CAL-FIL setup. At least that seems the most rational explanation.
