That brings up a slight nit -- if you go into CW TEST mode the C blinks,
but as you point out, you can't do that from another mode. That's ok,
but when you go to another mode, it doesn't blink anymore, and TUNE
won't work, so it sometimes leads to a bit of headscratching. (Plus, if
you try to go into CW TEST mode when you're in one of the phone modes,
it turns on VOX, which always gets me really excited and quiet until I
can figure out how to turn it off). But you're right, this is the
better & approved way to temporarily disable TX.

In CW mode, I hold MODE to put the K2 in TEST mode when I'm not operating.
That completely disables the TX in the event the key is bumped.

No, it stays low if your power is below 2W. I turn the power down when
I leave the RX on and leave the room (don't want to be a stuck ditter)
