[Elecraft] K2: Sudden CW filter FLT2~FLT4 shift!!

There is nothing in the K2 that would shift only CW filters FL2 thru FL4 
other than a re-adjustment of those filters themselves.

Is it possible that something happened to the BFO that has changed *all* 
the filters, but the change was not enough to make a noticeable 
difference when listening to the wider filters?

A BFO frequency shift would shift all the filters by approximately the 
same amount - look for the unsoldered connection in the BFO area.
