KDSP2 guide

[Jeff Kinzli]

I'm quite surprised at how well the KDSP2 is able to make signals go
from uncopyable to Q5 copy. The last few evenings I've been spending a
lot of time on 40M listening (and working a few) to europeans, and
with my smallish antennas, most of the european sigs are quite weak
out here in CA. With the noise, QRM, polar flutter, etc. it makes for
a rough copy. Engage the DSP though, and they pop right out of the
noise, and all of a sudden they're perfectly copyable.

I find myself, however, jumping through menus because I still don't
quite understand how things are layed out, and how to get back to a
place in the menu where I was previously to adjust a given parameter.

Makes me think a cheat sheet or guide would be helpful. The little
table in the KDSP2 book doesn't quite make sense to me either, or at
least I can't reliably duplicate the button presses to get a given
result.

Does anyone have such a beast? I figure I'd really be dangerous if I
understood and was comfortable with the DSP knobs.

Thanks,

Jeff KA6LAF

This might get you started.

Didn't see much for DSP, but maybe you can add to it to make your own.
