[Elecraft] RE: SSB Transmit Audio

[Don Wilhelm]

Nicholas,

If you simply set the BFO as indicated in the manual, the answer is YES you
should crank up Spectrogram and adjust the transmit BFOs (FL1) for SSB - and
CW too if you have not done so.
Take a look at my website (www.qsl.net/w3fpr) article on K2 Dial Calibration
for detailed information.  QSL.net has been having some difficulties, but
keep trying and you will eventually succeed.
