[Elecraft] K2: Transmitting a little low

Jay,

I suggest that you review the K2 Dial Calibration article on my website 
http://w3fpr.qrpradio.com and then do a full calibration run including 
the SSB filters using Spectrogram.

If that does not correct it, then re-do the calibration.  The VFO and 
the BFO are about the only thing that could effects you describe.  Be 
quite careful to place the low frequency corner of the SSB filter 
passband at 300 Hz and you should be 'on frequency'.

You may want to listen to yourself in another receiver when you are done 
rather than depending on reports from others on the air.

73,
Don W3FPR
