[Elecraft] KAF2 or KDSP2 for K2 #5287

[Tom Althoff]

It depends on how you operate Alexander.    My experience with the Ten-Tec 
Orion's DSP as well as external audio DSP's on the K2 convinced me not to 
buy the KDSP2 option for the K2.

I mainly operate CW.  I tune around at 800Hz bandwidth but typically operate 
at 150-200Hz.   At such narrow bandwidths turning the DSP on and off has 
very little effect.    On SSB and wider CW bandwidths the DSP sounds 
impressive.

The KAF2 gives me the best bang for the buck.  I forget the exact settings 
but I think it's around 1.4Khz for filter 1 and 200Hz for filter 2.

The KDSP2 does have an operating convenience that lets it remember settings 
and "track" the IF bandwidth.   The KAF2 defaults to "off" on power up of 
the K2.
