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? - 73, John, W0JFR _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [hidden email] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

Actually, it is quite popular! 73, Lyle KK7P _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [hidden email] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

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. 73, Steve Kercel AA4AK At 01:19 PM 7/31/2007, John Reilly wrote: >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? > > - 73, John, W0JFR >_______________________________________________ >Elecraft mailing list >Post to: [hidden email] >You must be a subscriber to post to the list. >Subscriber Info (Addr.

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. 73, Bob N6WG ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Reilly" <[hidden email]> To: <[hidden email]> Sent: Tuesday, July 31, 2007 10:19 AM Subject: [Elecraft] K2 and DSP > 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? > > - 73, John, W0JFR > _______________________________________________ > Elecraft mailing list > Post to: [hidden email] > You must be a subscriber to post to the list. > Subscriber Info (Addr.

I agree completely. Wouldn't be without it!

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! 73 Arie PA3A -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- Van: [hidden email] [mailto:[hidden email]] Namens Dale Boresz Verzonden: maandag 30 juli 2007 21:25 Aan: [hidden email] Onderwerp: Re: [Elecraft] K2 and DSP I agree completely.
