Hi John and Tom.
I saw the subject and tested my K2 3829.
My dac-settings is as follows:
FL1    116    160
FL2    106    141
FL3    101    141
FL4    098    136

As I can see from John's K2 fl2-fl4 filters are in the wrong side of =
passband in cw-norm mode.
My radio is so fare basicly set up after the manual with just some =
changes 1-3 dac-counts up or down.
Also in cw-rev mode the radio switch passband on dac-count 140 or lower =
in fl1 and 117 and lower in fl4 leaving fl2 and fl3 somewhere between.
In these settings I don't have changes in pitch between norm and rev , =
and I'm using same BW in all filters as John.
John!
As a test you can try to enter cal-fil and switch to fl2. Press BAND to =
see dac-count and turn vfo to a lower count.
Listen to check if you're changing sideband.
I'm sure you do.
For this test you must have the radio in CW-norm since I think that's =
where the problem is.
What do you think Tom?
Hope this helps.
