My K2 #5628 has the SSB option installed. Fine carrier balanced completed. Many contacts made on SSB with the K2 with good audio reports. No carrier can be heard and audio sounds good.
The following settings were done: power set to minimum - ccw, mic gain (SSBA) set to 3, speech compressor level (SSBC) set to 3-1, frequency counter plugged into TP2. While doing the SSB transmit BFO optimization in CAL FIL BF1 (first filter) with BF1 set to OP1, I CAN HEAR my audio in my headphones "IF" I key the microphone. If I move the BFO plus or minus from suggested settings I can hear my audio frequencies change. So I set it for the "best sounding" which were very close to the recommended settings. The SSB adapter manual says that you must use an external receiver or ask a nearby ham to make these adjustments. I was able to this just by listening in the headphones plugged into the K2. This method is NOT mentioned in the manual. Can the SSB Transmit BFO Optimization (page 22 SSB manual) be performed this way or is my radio doing something unique??????
