Last week I installed the ssb kit and now my audio out is low.   I am switching back and forth between my Yaesu MP for a reference.   
Using Spectorgram  with the K2 in CW mode,  with the  filter Fl1  I get a reading about -45 db on the display  and about -58 db on the other filters fl2, fl3 and fl4.    The gain on the sound board is pegged as far as it can go to get those readings.    The Yaesu shows a good display.
Also,  there does not seem to me any change in bandwidth between    fl2 fl3 and fl4.                                        

 In LSB , spectrogram displays abt -30 db for FL1 and -55 for fl2 and fl3.

Another thing is that i just connected the  XG1 and the 50uvolt output is not even moving the S meter.  Is was working before the ssb kit.  

Question ,  what is the best way to disable the ssb module?  Just adding the W2 and W3 jumper and reinstalling the cap at c167 and removing the module?

Also,  Why do you set up the FL1 filter in cw mode for OP1,  the only referecne to that is on page 20 of the ssb manual.   I just dont understand the filter setup and the bfo settings.
