[Elecraft] KAF2 or KDSP2 for K2?

[Guy Olinger K2AV]

Bluntly, as clever as the CW filter scheme was for both cost and
effectiveness, the DSP for me really put the finishing touches on the
performance.  But that is a contesting analysis.  No contesting, maybe I
don't care.

I have the four CW widths and I have the DSP filters set to exactly match
the skirts.  A bit of a pain getting that right, but when I'm out working
on an antenna somewhere running battery, I don't have an issue that I wish
I had my K3 out there for hearing.

And when I've got something matched by the auto tuner, I know the network
values being used to do it.

73, Guy.
