Well on the K1 I usually engage the narrow filter and tune for peak audio signal. That
seems to work pretty well for me.

On the KX1, I crank the variable filter down to about 500 hz BW and tune for peak audio signal. Note that if you crank the variable filter all the way down the center frequency of the filter will most likely shift down below 600 Hz (it does on mine) so you don't want to
set the filter to its narrowest setting when doing this.

You can always check at how good of a job you are doing by piping the audio output from the rig into Spectogram or even something like Digipan on your PC as this will
give you a fairly accurate reading of the audio frequency.
