[Elecraft] K2 Filter Question

  Curt,

You observations are likely to be correct, but I would check the 
centering using Spectrogram or similar just in case your audio "ears" 
are not telling you the whole story.

For instance, if you have a bad crystal in the variable IF filter, there 
would be some variation in the filter passband and that would lead you 
to erroneous conclusions about the filter performance.
