Whenever you change the sidetone pitch using the ST P menu entry,
you’re also changing the CW receive offset. The two always match
stations at same pitch as the sidetone, your transmitted signal will be
right on that station’s frequency. This is especially important when
To see how the receive offset tracks the sidetone pitch, try this
experiment. First, use the SPOT switch to tune in a station at your
use the ST P entry to change the pitch. As soon as you exit the menu,
you’ll notice that the station you were listening to has also been
Note that changing the sidetone pitch does not shift the BFO in
relation to the crystal filter. This will not be a problem if you're using
using a very narrow filter, then change your sidetone pitch by a large
amount, you may want to use CAL FIL to shift the BFO so that the

Even if you have not installed the SSB adapter, you'll find this section

§ Use the CAL FIL menu function to setup three filter bandwidths for
LSB and 3 for USB. For instructions and recommended settings see

Nearly all SSB operation on 14MHz and above is on USB, while
LSB is used on 7MHz and below. For AM reception you can use

SSB Transceive
Note: If you transmit using LSB or USB modes with the basic (CW-only)
K2, keep in mind the following:
If you select LSB or USB mode and hit the DOT paddle or a hand
receive offset will be set to zero. (The key jack’s DOT line doubles
as the mic jack’s push-to-talk line when the SSB adapter is installed.)
When you hold the TUNE button, the K2 switches internally to CW
with any mode selected.
