Are you sure you don't have a short between the dot and dash lines
somewhere? The K2 has a feature that allows both a paddle and a key to
be connected in parallel. The key is connected to both the dot and dash
lines. When the K2 sees both dot and dash lines go low at the same time,
it knows that it is the key, not the paddle (you would need a couple
diodes to keep the paddle from grounding both lines).

You can check this by turning off this feature. Go back to the INP menu
(and hold the EDIT button to edit the parameter), the tap DISPLAY. You
should see ADET OFF displayed briefly. Now try your paddle. If you have
a short, you should now get alternating dits and dahs regardless of
which lever you press.
