Hi John, the PK-232 is factory set for 200 HZ instead
of the 170 HZ that is used for rtty. This was so it
could be used for Packet.
I would re-align the PK-232 for 170 shift. It is very
easy to do and the complete instructions are on my
webpage at:

As far as the image or unwanted signal, that could be
many things. Usually you are over driving the
transmitter. Make sure the compressor is off, move
the mike gain up with the afsk input until full power
and then back off a bit until it go's down a bit. You
could have a rig problem, but that is not likely.
Good Luck
