SSB OP1

glblock
okay,  the filters are driving me nuts! lol..I've been listening on all the
bands.  Very good for just a wire tied to my clothes line.  Ant being put up
this weekend, weather permiting.  However when I [Fil] cycle through them the
OP1 will not allow me to tune any SSB so that I can understand them.  I can
hear them.  If I move to the other 3 filters I can understand them just fine.

Is there something I must tune up again, or is the filter so narrow I'm
passing by it ?

Gary,

Is there a possibility that you have the BFO set to the wrong sideband?
The BFO frequency for LSB should be somewhere close to 4913.7 kHz and the
USB should be near 4916.3 kHz.

The best way to set the filter passband accurately (and to evaluate the
filter width as well) is to use Spectrogram.  There are instuctions at the
Elecraft website and the article dealing with K2 dial Calibration on my
website http://w3fpr.qrpradio.com also has information on using Spectrogram.
You can get version 5.17 (the last freeware version) at www.n0ss.net .
