I posted this problem several months ago and never received an answer from anyone on it.
My K2 (and I've talked with several other K2 owners with the same problem), Serial #4338, will not always detect a hand key properly -- Autodetect is turned on in the menu - and I am using 2 1N914 diodes between the hand key contacts and the dot and dash inputs to the K2. The keypaddles function properly at all times, but when using the hand key, at random times, a key down on the hand key produces the same results as a paddle press - namely automatic dots or dashes. This has proved to be a nasty problem, especially in a contest when needing to rapidly slow down to re-send information. You get part way through the exchange and the characters get all messed up due to the aforementioned erratic action. Is there any known fix for this problem???? Would appreciate any information available on the subject.
