[K2] DSP settings aadvice

Pawlak, Daniel L-2
   I've had the DSP module installed in my K2 (ser. no. 03957)since I built it. After a long hiatus, I've fired it up, realigned it successfully using Spectragram , and the audio still sounds horrible. I've come to realize that the parameters used for the DSP are probably not optimized for SSB. I think I still have the default settings entered.
   I've read on other forums that the DSP can be finicky to set up properly; in fact, some have complained that the DSP is close to useless, probably because they've been unsuccessful in setting it up properly. Based on your experience, I'd appreciate any advice on how to find that sweet spot for SSB.
Thanks.
73,
Dan  KF4KKF

Dan,

The KDSP2 does quite well for SSB.  Check your settings against the
defaults shown in the KDSP2 manual.  Particularly the bandpass low and
high frequencies.
Secondly, make sure the 'nr' and 'nt' is set to off (no dots before them
on the display.  If those are set on, they can be expected to cause some
distortion.
