K2 Spot causes signal distortion

[Jay Blass]

Just getting K2 4329 aligned and on the air.

All alignments are complete (thanks to spectrogram and Tom Hammond), but I have found that activating the spot tone feature distorts the incoming rx signal. This is very evident both auditory and when viewing the signal on Spectrogram.

I've used Spotting on the K1 extensively, but the current situation on the K2 makes this feature unusable.

Any ideas?

Make sure you didn't break RFC15 (check for continuity). You'll also
hear a very ugly sounding transmit signal if RFC15 is broken.

Does it help to lower level of spot tone?
I use spot often on my K2 3829 and no distortion heard , but I have never
run it on high levels?
I adjust level on spot so an incoming signal blanks it out when pitch is
near optimal center.

How is your transmitted signal?
Any stray from PS?
