All -

Finished K2 serial number 3194 this week and enjoying the radio.  As with
anything new, you notice things and wonder if they all act that way or it's
just yours.

That's especially true when you build it yourself.

Here's what I noticed, changing filters changed the pitch of the signal.
Mode is CW.  Pitch of incoming received signal (I used WWV for testing) is
shown on Spectrogram at:

Filter     Width     Pitch of Signal       Change
FL1        150           608
FL2         70            576                     32 hz.
FL3         40            581                       5 hz.
FL4         10            581                       0 hz.

The only one I really notice is the change from FL1 to FL2.  Suspect it may
have to do with my filter calibration.

Either this is typical or it's just mine.  Comments?

Thanks in advance,
