7261 finished all is well except?

[Don Baucom]

I finished last night. The receiver/transmit alignmet went well ( I used the XG3) I had one QSO last night.
He gave me a 599 but said something about freq. I did not catch it.. I have been calling and answering Cqs with no luck today. So I took the antenna of my FT-950 and cranked the power on the K2 down to 1 watt. My 950 has a bar graph that centers on the correct CW spot. When I send on 7035.00. The 950 says I am on 7035.50.  The Pitch was set on 500 . The only time I thought a guy came back to me when I answered his CQ he also said something about Freq?

Have I got something out of wack or am I just having a rough day with 12 watts?

Don,

It sounds like you have the CW filters set for the wrong sideband.  The
CW (non-reversed) filters must be lower sideband while the CWr filters
must be set for upper sideband.  What that means in terms of BFO
frequencies is that the CW filters will be in the vicinity of 4913.6 to
4913.0 and the CWr BFOs will range from 4915.3 down to 4914.2.

For good dial calibration, once you get your CW sidebands correct, go to
my website www.w3fpr.com and look at the article on K2 Dial Calibration.
- it deal with both dial calibration and filter alignment.
