[Elecraft] K2 - Best Practices - Optimization

[David Wilburn]

I have been using my K2 for a bit now.  I have done a couple of 
alignments on it, as I learned lessons what I did not get quite right 
previously.  I listen quite a bit more than I transmit.  I do ok around 
15wpm, but I'm not quite happy with where I am, so I listen and work on 
improving my copy.

I have followed Tom and Don's alignments with Spectrogram, as I do not 
have much in the way of test equipment.  I am at the point where I would 
like to go back through and try it again, and play with the settings a 
bit more, to get them to fit what I like, where I stayed near the 
defaults previously.  I do have the XG2, the wide band noise generator.

Additionally, I have played with the K2 quite a bit to understand how to 
best use it to pull in marginal signals.  This is where best practices 
would come in handy.  How do the folks that are more experienced, pull 
them in?

Has anyone done any write ups on optimizing the K2?  Anything on 
settings for best pulling in the signals?

Elecraft, thanks for the radio and the great forum.
