[Elecraft] K2 Receive Audio

[Don Wilhelm]

Wes,

The most common cause is that the SSB IF filters are not aligned 
correctly.  Use Spectrogram for a visual indication of the filter 
passband.  See 
http://www.mmccs.com/mmarc/n0ss/k2_filters_using_gram_v5r17.pdf.  You 
will not be disappointed.

If you need Spectrogram, go to my website www.w3fpr.com and scroll down 
on the home page to near the bottom.  You will find links to both 
version 5.17 and version 16.

73,
Don W3FPR
