This may sound trite, but I tried my "hi-fi" stereo headphones instead of my "communications" headphones. Boy. what a difference!! I suspect, though, that all it does is to allow more white noise and overtones to be heard. My desk mike (Adonis 308) has switch settings for "SSB" and "FM" - same theory. The real constriction, though, has got to be the filters in the K2 (or any other rig). With the channels that make up the 60m phone band restricted to 2.8 kHz occupied bandwidth, I will have to live with the 2.6 kHz KSB-1 mod. (I'm one of the ARES/RACES gurus pushing for using 60m for statewide and region-wide comms - one of the several reasons that I got the K2.) The extra 200 Hz in audio bandwidth doesn't mean a thing.
