[Elecraft] K2 freq calibration...

[Brett Gazdzinski]

Don,
I just got the K2 and ssb add on in the last 2 weeks.
I don't think it said anything about the bandwidth other than what is in the 
manual that came with the ksb2, 2.3 KHz.
It sure sounds nice on receive, and it seems to sound fine in the pro3 when 
I monitor it.
Perhaps I just need a good microphone.

What caps need to be changed to what in order to get 2.6?
