Folks,

I'm getting ready to a add a KSB2 to my K2, principle use will
be PSK. Thanks to a buddy I also have a MH2, so I'll yak it up
on 18132 occasionally as well. I'd like to hear other's
experience with the various mods out there.

1) N0SS 2nd XFIL Mod with KI6WX flatness mod.

   According to KI6WX's write up there is a 2DB increased
   insertion loss. Has this proved problematic in CW mode?
   
2) KI6WX BW mods

   This is especially interesting. I'd love to widen out the
   response to 2.5kHz for PSK work. Has anybody done this one?
   Comments?

3) KSB2 Increased Gain Modification

   Is there much benefit to this if I'll be using the MH2? I am
   concerned about overdrive in PSK mode.


Anything else I should consider? (I don't pay close attention to
SSB stuff, so maybe I missed something else?)
