Giulio, Can you please describe the distortion? Also, please say whether the distortion is heard in the sidetone or on a different monitoring receiver.
Does all this happen when operating into a dummy load? Or is it only when operating into an antenna? Is this with a hand key? or with paddles? If with paddles, does it happen with a string of dashes? or a string of dots? or both. If you have not cleaned your key contacts, that could be the problem. Put a strip of paper between the key contacts, close the key and extract the paper - that should clean the contacts. I cannot comment on the SSB until the CW is corrected. 73, Don W3FPR Giulio Pico - IW3HVB wrote: > I have a problem with a K2 who behaves strangely on cw.
