[Elecraft] K2 CW Keying Wave Shape

[Unifiedtx@aol.com]

I was looking at the International Radio web site <A HREF="http://www.inrad.net">http://www.inrad.net</A> and 
saw the comparisons of the CW bandwidth at 1 Khz either side of the carrier 
frequency among some of the transceivers.  It looks as if the mod made to the 
original (unmodified) version of the FT-1000MP resulted in a significant 
improvement implying that key clicks are reduced.  The unmodified MP is down 
62 dB at +/-1kHz and the modified MP-2 is down 72 dB at +/-1kHz.  Using the 
same test parameters the K2 was down 54 dB at +/-1 kHz.  This is comparable 
to the Omni VI+ which is down 56 dB at +/-1 kHz. Some on the reflector have 
commented about the excessive Omni VI+ key clicks.
Bottom line,  Is everything up to date in Kansas City or does the K2 need 
time constant changes?
