[Elecraft] K2: Erratic action of the Hand Key "Autodetect"function

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

While we're on the subject, there are occasionally reports of a "reverse"
glitch too. That is, when sending with paddles using the internal keyer in
Iambic mode, instead of getting the expected alternating dit-dah (or
dah-dit) you get a steady key-down carrier as long as you squeeze the
paddles! 

That's also *normal*. To do that, the operator needs to close (squeeze) both
paddles simultaneously! The logic is set up to detect a simultaneous closure
as a straight key input so it disables the keyer logic! 

It's really quite rare. I played around with the K2's keyer (nice!) quite a
bit when I first built S/N 1289 and managed to make it happen only after
reading about it on the reflector. The closure of both paddles has to be
very nearly at the same instant.
