K2 SSB Audio

kf7gc
Anyone ever have any problems with muffled audio on SSB with the
K2? It seems no matter which K2 I use I keep getting reports sounding
like a towel over the mic. I have tried various adjustments but it stays
the same. This one I have now has that Mic kit that you can use any mic.
I have tried the Elecraft hand mic and the Heil boom mic designed for the K2.
Any ideas would be appreciated.

Tomy,

Remove the right side panel and dress the ribbon cable and the speaker
cable up into the space between the top of the Control Board and the
KPA100 - get them as far away from the KSB2 board as possible.

If that does not correct it, you may need to adjust the BFOs for the FL1
OP1 filter.  See part 3 of my K2 Dial Calibration article on my website
