[Elecraft] Straight Key on my K2

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

I am pleased to learn that you have had success in doing this, Tom. I am 
afraid that in trying to do this I get alternate dots and dashes 
occasionally when pressing the straight key.  Following suggestions on 
here, I have even tried using matched Schottky diodes but still get the 
trouble.  I find that the only sure way of sending using the straight 
key is to change the menu to InP HAnd

You are not alone, David. That's my experience too. Since I use a bug or
straight key all the time, it's no issue to leave the K2 in handkey mode. I
recall that there has been a couple of threads on this subject. Clearly, not
all K2's (or keys or operators) are the same <G>.
