Congratulations on your 604 qsos with the K2.

I have been running RTTY with only 5 watts for several years using K2
sn937, and I sympathize with the filter adjusting problem.  The nominal
high RTTY shift and mark frequencies are too high to allow effective use
of the K2 filters.  MTTY will allow you to lower the RTTY center
frequency to around 1000 hz where you will find it much easier to set
your filters.  Also, current firmware allows unique settings in rtty
mode. 

I run filters from pretty wide down to about 50 hz.  And after several
years of using the K2, I am still amazed how the it will print a
relatively week signal that is within 1 khz of a real boomer.

Good luck and 73
