Tom Hammond caught my 'too quick response' I should have typed CAL FIL
below - not CAL PLL.
Sorry all and thanks to Tom for noticing.

Dave,
A BFO shift of up to 20 Hz is to be expected. If you have 100 Hz
shifts, then you need to run CAL PLL again - using Spectrogram if
possible. Note that you should use a broadband noise source or band
noise (with the preamp on) with no signals present. Attempting to set
the BFOs with a signal present in the passband will result in
frustration.
See my article on K2 Dial Calibration at my website www.qsl.net/w3fpr
for additional information.

Hi All,
I am the owner of 2 K2s, one a K2-100 and the other a qrp model. I
built one of the rigs myself but completely aligned both rigs.
My question.
What can I do to prevent slight frequency shifts when changing filter
settings?
Both rigs exhibit this problem. The shift is only about 100 hz at the
most but I don't think this should happen.
Other then the small shifting problem the rigs work perfectly.
I know there has been solutions posted on this forum in the past but
I seem to not have the ability to search for them.
I am using the spectrograph program and following the procedure that
accompanied it when downloaded.
I must be doing something wrong. It must not be the radios as both
exhibit the frequency shift when changing filter bandwidths.
Any help or advise would be appreciated.
