Ooops - I knew I would get dyslexic - it's LSB, so the necessary shift to a lower TX frequency requires a corresponding shift higher in the audio applied - so you want to center at 1000+(170/2) or 1085Hz.

>>Since the ability to set filters when using the RTTY mode is different than LSB/USB if used for AFSK, what center frequency do you use?  Perhaps I should rephrase this.  When setting filters in the RTTY mode (the K2 defaults to the SSB filters when in RTTY mode unless RTTY filters are set) do you use 1000 Hz as the center frequency?
