CW doesn't sound right

bobgarceau
Turned the rig on and notice that the CW tone is not right.

Mostly a bassy sound.. Not a clear cw tone sound like I'm used too.

 

Not sure about rtty. No signals on the air.

 

SSB reception seems o.k. but I don't work much SSB, mostly CW.

 

Just not normal.

 

Bob, W1EQ

Do you have the IF shift set to the low side?
