K2 and DSP

W0JFR
I notice no mention in the Reflector about the DSP module in the K2.
Furthermore, I never see a K2 equipped with DSP for sale.

Is there a reason that the DSP module is not popular in the K2?

John:

I have a DSP module in my K2 and I think that it is wonderful. K2/DSP
is discussed occasionally on the list.

There are two notable points of discussion.

1) Some users (including me) report a loud pop on CW keying with the
DSP installed. This is easily remedied by tweaking the T-R delay settings.

2) With DSP denoising activated, the radio sometimes becomes so quiet
that you think it is broken, and you need to turn off the denoising
to see if the radio is still working. With the denoising on, as you
tune across signals they seem to pop out of the surrounding nothingness.

If you do no see many postings about K2/DSP, I suspect that the
reason is that so little goes wrong with it.

To the contrary, John.
The KDSP2 does several things for you.
The obvious cw filtering, additional audio
gain, and the Noise Reduction that you
only get with a DSP unit.  Mine is
switched in all the time.  Great unit.

RE: K2 and DSP

Arie Kleingeld PA3A
I have the dsp too.
The IF filtering of the K2 is fine so the DSP does not add much in the
bandwidth filtering but it adds just that little bit that I want. It's
switched on all the time at a reasonable wide bandwidth setting to cut
off high freq hiss and low freq noise and qrm.

I keep the NR off. Don't like the blurry sound.

What I particlarly like is the automatic notch when listening to ssb. FB
once you have the settings right.

The fun part of the DSP is the playing with the NR- and Notch-settings
and listening to the effect (although I have yet to discover the right
NR setting that works under most circumstances)

Conclusion: The DSP stays!
