[Elecraft] K2 CW test mode

[David]

Hello All,

Unlike most of the people on this mailing list, my CW sending skill is very 
poor.  So I have bought a paddle and am practicing regularly.  One thing I 
have found with my K2 (S/N 5492) is that the CW test mode will sound a 
continuous note with both paddles pressed.  This happens intermittently and 
in mode A or B.  I have been using speeds around 15 to 20 wpm.

The answer is to set the power down to minimum and use a dummy load - which I 
have been doing and the problem hasn't happened.  I suspect its a firmware 
issue since the display is being a bit more active than usual flashing the 
'c' character, than when normally transmitting.

More an observation than a problem that must be fixed.
