I did this at the Boy Scout Jamboree last Fall.   I hooked up a laptop
running CWGet to the K2 and the scouts were amazed and pleased to see
letters appear as they used the paddles.  I had to take the K2 home and get
on the air that evening to make up for using her as a fancy code oscillator
all day  ;-)
