CAL FIL Example (setting up all filters):
Table 8-1 shows the recommended filer settings for a CW-only K2.
If you already have the SSB adapter installed, use the SSB settings
from the KSB2 manual.
1. Read the CAL FIL instructions on the previous page if you
haven't already. You'll need to be familiar with CAL FIL
displays and controls before proceeding.
2. Do the Basic CAL FIL Setup from the previous page exactly as
described. You should then see a display similar to FL1

3. Using the VFO knob, set FL1 to the value shown for CW
Normal (1.50). Tap
X F I L
to save the new value and move to
F L 2

B AN D -
to show BF1.
6. Tap

to save the new value and move to BF2. Repeat steps 6
and 7 to set up BF2, BF3, and BF4.

switch to select LSB, and return to FL1 using
X F I L

updates the USB filter bandwidths.)

and set up each LSB BFO as you did for CW.

M O D E
to select USB, and set up each USB BFO.
13. If you use settings that differ from the defaults, record them in Table
