Okay... I misread your comment.  Sorry for what must have seemed
over-reacting.  I think you'll be very pleased with this aspect.

The K2 can sound pretty darned good at 100Hz bandwidth on CW, but you can
adjust the filters to anything you like.  The widest filter should probably
be left at the factory setting of about 1.5Khz.  Can't tell you how many
times I've been working an S2 signal at this setting and had a 20 over 9
station start calling CQ just a little off freq.  Drop passband to 700 Hz
and and there is no hint he is there... no AGC pumping, no key clicks...
nothing!

Good luck... Ed, W5EJ
