[Elecraft] K2 with XV144: TX offset without RIT/XIT

[Rajiv Dewan, N2RD]

Problem was:  SSB transmit offset by 540Hz.

In reply to Steve's question: No, I did not have the RIT or XIT  
engaged.  Easy enough mistake to make despite the flashing indicator. :(

Just to dot the i's and cross the t's, I recalled that I had not set  
not set BF2-4 in CAL-FIL for SSB when I installed the unit.  I re-did  
the CAL FIL calibration yesterday after diagnosing the problem.  I  
transmitted into a dummy load and listened on a nearby receiver and  
found that now I seem to be on frequency, at least on the HF bands.   
I dunno if this makes any sense.  Perhaps I was on Fil2 with the  
factory BFO setting for the filter.  In any case, listening on HF I  
now seem to be spot on.

I noticed the problem yesterday while having a 2m qso using the  
XV144.  I will try some on the air tests with the XV144 tonight.

Hope to get it all squared away before the CQWW VHF this weekend.

Thanks for your note,
Raj, N2RD
