[Elecraft] CW Reverse Sideband Suppression Bad Using OP-1

I purchased a one year old K2 #5116. Its equipped with the KSB2 SSB module.
I noticed the filter selection for CW Wide wasn’t set up with OP-1 as per
the
instructions for the KSB-2. So I went into the Cal Fil and set all the
BFO
settings exactly as per the KSB2 manual to allow OP-1 to be used in place of
FL-1
on CW Wide. Then I used the Spectrogram software to set the filters exactly
as per the instructions. All the filters tuned up perfectly .
All went well exact for one thing. On CW Reverse, using OP-1, I can
hear
both sides of zero beat on the CW signals --- at the same level. So with an
S9
signal I have to tune through both sides of zero beat at S9 but only using
CW Reverse.
e CW Normal using OP-1 has prefect side band suppression with no
sign of the other side of zero beat.
I can tune CW signals while in either USB or LSB mode and it receives
perfectly
with no sign of the other side of zero beat. So SSB suppression on both USB
and LSB appears to be ok.
The only thing that’s not coming up right is while using OP-1 in place of
FL-1 on
CW Reverse. Everything else appears to be working as it should be in this
K2.
Anyone have any ideas on what to look for as the cause?
