John,

That sounds like inverted sidebands to me.  Try presetting the CAL FIL BFO
values to those indicated in the manual to get things in the ballpark and
then go through the procedure again.  The procedure does work FB, I use it 2
or 3 times a week on K2s that are in here for repair/alignment/calibration.

If you want additional information, look at the K2 dial calibration article
on my website http://w3fpr.qrpradio.com
