I participated in the 160 Meter CW contest this weekend with my K2/100 and noticed something I had never noticed before.  I think that I might have a misadjustment in the filters and I am not sure where.
 
I would tune a station (S&P) to where I thought I was in the bandpass of the RC station.  At least the note sounded good to me.  Invariably, I would have to tune about a tenth of a KC down to actual make the contact.  I could call on the higher tone and they would not hear me, but calling on the lower tone they would come back all the time.  I have the filter center set at 700 with filters widths at 1.5 - 700 - 400 - 100.
 
Do I have something set to low or to high with the BFO?  This gets confusing to me.
