[Elecraft] K2 Auto-Detect Mode

[Parker Buckley]

I have experienced similar problems using a bug with the K2.
I gave up on the auto-detect mode.  I attributed the problem
to less than perfect (or maybe less than perfectly
consistent) timing going back and forth betweens dits and
dahs.  I use a variety of bugs, operating in the 17-20 wpm
range.  I've also been careful to adjust for sufficient
dwell time with the dits to match an electronic keyer with a
string of dits at the same speed, not the staccatto that one
sometimes hears from the bugs.  Maybe the auto-detect works
okay for hand keys at somewhat slower speeds.
