[Elecraft] Lousy Tx audio reports using K2

[Darwin, Keith]

-----Original Message-----
...A previous message on this list mentioned that "if you key the
transmitter in CAL FIL mode, at least for an SSB FL1 filter, the signal
is looped back to the receive side, through the filter". That could
allow you a way to adjust the filter settings while listening to your
own voice to see for yourself if it sounds bassy.
--------------------------

I didn't know about that.  When I adjusted my K2, I used a Drake 2B
receiver to receive my own transmitted signal.  I fed the audio from the
Drake into my PC through a good sound card.  I then transmitted with the
K2 into a dummy load while I listened on the 2B.  The recording showed
me exactly what another person would have heard and I was able to fine
tune my filter adjustment for my voice & mic.

I then put the mic away and haven't used SSB since :-).  Ah, life as a
hopeless CW junkie!
