[Elecraft] Current Performance of K2/100 on SSB?

[Paul Clay]

Hey, thanks.  I think for sure I need to get my K2 
properly aligned using spectogram.  I have the 
DSP module installed and, while it works well for 
me on CW, it doesn't seem to be as 
helpful/effective on SSB.  When I built the K2 
and the DSP unit, I just followed the basic 
alignment procedures in the constuction manual.
