[Elecraft] K2 keyer

[David A. Belsley]

Try switching modes from A to B, vice versa.  It's done in the menu.  Let 
me add the following:  When I first started using the internal K2 keyer, I 
really disliked it a lot.  I have several keyers, including the CMOS 3, 
which I liked a lot.  I used iambic A.  When I used the K2 keyer with 
iambic A, I had real trouble bringing it under control.  I switched to B, 
and that seemed better.  So I kept at it.  I didn't want to have to tote an 
external keyer for the K2 when using it /P.  After a while I began to 
realize that I was growing to love the keyer.  It takes some time to adjust 
to a new timing.  And now, I find my CMOS keyer to be awkward and difficult 
to use, and my favorate keyer is the K2's.

Go figure.  The moral, however, is clear: if you don't want to love a keyer 
you hate, don't use it.

best wishes,
