K2 Recieve Tuning is off

Tom Field
As per my previous note, I just finished the KPA 100 and KIO2 Mods for my
K2. Thanks Don for the suggestions on USB to serial.

While listening around the bands, I find that my tuning is off, which
wasn't the case before the mods. WWV is off by several Hz, and when I tune
in CW, I find it loudest  and the tone is nowhere near my sidetone, making
the SPOT useless.  Frequensee on my phone has the tuned CW signal at about
1200 hz and my sidetone is 600 hz.  Before going through the complete
retuning process, my question is there something I should check regarding
the recent mods?

Tom,

There is nothing associated with either of those options that would
change the dial calibration - so if it really changed during the
installation of those options, it had to be something that was
inadvertently touched.
Did you do a Master Reset?  If so, you will find all your BFO (filter)
settings set back to the defaults - you did record those settings before
doing the reset, did you not?

If you were not aware, there is a complete procedure for doing the K2
Dial Calibration on my website www.w3fpr.com.
