Greetings,

A little off subject:  I plugged my iambic paddle into my K2 for the first
time and tried to send my call.  It didn't come out right.  I tried again.
I couldn't do the "C".  Then, enlightenment:  The K2 defaults to Curtis
mode A.  If you've only used mode B, you can't send worth a hoot
in mode A :-)

I use a Kent paddle.  I bought it at Dayton as a kit which saved me
a few bucks.  All you have to do with the kit is screw all the parts
together and solder connectors on the cable.  The average ham could
do it in 20 minutes.  I like the feel of the Kent.
