finished with the k2 for now.

[Brett gazdzinski-2]

I re-did my filters tonight, made up a headphone adaptor,
and did some tuning around after cleaning up the shack
from the rig building.
I listened to 80 meters for about 1/2 an hour, the rig
seemed to be working very well, loads of signals on the air,
and I went to send a V in an open spot and check the swr.
That is when I found the antenna was not connected...

I am going to wait for the kat2 antenna tuner to arrive
before I worry any more about power output problems.

One issue I have is the CW pitch. I had a mini QSO with the icom
and the K2 seems to have a different offset, like 600 Hz
difference, I corrected it with the K2 RIT.

What sets the offset in the K2?

By default it is 600 Hz.  That is the ST P setting in the menu.
