see SSBA BAL, then exit the menu..

Now you'll be able to monitor your mike audio (no signal is transmitted
on the air in this mode)."

Yes, I did.  I followed the advice on the first page of the KSB2 manual,
which reads:

"Other features of the KSB2 include a programmable speech compressor and
VOX (voice-operated transmit) capability.  In addition, the K2 provides a
Carrier Balance mode in which the SSB transmit signal is routed directly
to the receiver.  This mode facilitates carrier balance adjustment, and
can also be used with headphones to listen to the mic audio whenever the
mic gain or compression level is changed."

Follow the menu procedure under "Coarse Carrier Balance Adjustment" on
page 19 of the KSB2 manual and speak into the mike while listening in the
headphones.  Do NOT press PTT because that will take the K2 out of the
carrier balance mode!!!!
