[Elecraft] K2 MixW filter alignment question

I've always been a little confused by the whole filter alignment issue.
I have the new DSP option for my K2 but the original crystal filters,are =
the ones I have the question about. I aligned them as instructed by the =
manual and they seem fine...except for FL4 (200 hz) which seemed pretty =
attenuated.  Didn't worry much about it because the manual alludes to =
some attenuation. I followed the instructions as well for using =
Spectrogram.
      Now here's my problem: I just used my MixW program (which I used =
to use for PSK 31 on my Omni V) to look at the filters on the waterfall =
display and with a signal on the band synced with my sidetone at  600 =
hz, its right on the fuzzy edge of the 200 hz passband. If I tune it =
into the middle of the passband (about 700 hz) its clearly louder. What =
have I done wrong and and how do I fix it? I know this is a mucho stupid =
question. The signal is not dead in the middle of the passband on any of =
the filter settings. Should it be?=20
