[1000mp] 12vdc CW & CK-2

[Bob Main]

I have a CK-2 and was surprised that after sitting in a box for 20+ yrs that
it still worked!!  Luckily I from that one of the power supplies for some
phone or something that had "died" long ago was in the junk box and of the
proper voltage/current.  I did find out one thing though.  If you plug your
paddle into the back of the Mk V with it wired so that the dash is on the
right and then you plug that same paddle into the CK-2 they dots/dash
reverse.  Just thought you ought to know.
