[Elecraft] Raspy audio from K2

I recently finished building the KSB2 and did the alignment on the 
filters.  Everything seems to be working as advertised, except on 
transmit my voice sounds raspy.  I haven't had time to dig into the 
problem yet, but I did try 3 separate mics and got the same result.  For 
my test, I transmitted at 1 Watt into a dummy load while listening on my 
Icom 706 with headphones.  My first assumption is that I simply need to 
tweak the transmit filter, but I'm asking if anyone else has had the 
same symptom that was perhaps caused by something else.  For example, is 
it possible the two radios are simply too close to each other for a good 
audio test?  They are on separate supplies and were about 6 feet apart 
during the test.

Thanks and 73's,
