Operating the KDSP2


The KDSP2 is controlled by the K2’s DISPLAY ,

AFIL

, BAND+ , BAND- ,

RCL

and

STORE

buttons.

When a button is to be momentarily pressed (tapped) it is shown like this: BAND+ . When a button is to
be pressed and held for a ½ a second or so, and then released, it is shown like this:

RCL


The KDSP2 recognizes three modes:

C

for CW;

S

for SSB (it does not distinguish between LSB and USB);

R

for RTTY.


The mode is determined by decoding auxbus traffic within the K2 transceiver.

For each mode, the KDSP2 maintains four filters, accessed using the

AFIL

button. Each time you press

the

AFIL

button, you cycle to the next filter. After the fourth filter, the next is the first, always cycling

through them in increasing order. If a filter is set to LPASS (low pass), then it becomes the last filter in
that mode’s sequence. You can use this to reduce the number of filters in a given mode’s sequence.

On power up, the KDSP2 will default to the first filter for each mode. It will retain the current filter for
each mode until power is again cycled.

The factory default filters are:
