I use the craniometer....it is not part of the K2, but virtually all CW ops have 
access to one.

Sadly, each craniometer has it's own calibration scale.

Hmmmm, perhaps like the old BC221 Frequency Charts...you could develop a chart 
for handy reference....actually two charts..

Chart 1
K2 Speed Display	Actual Speed

Chart 2
Actual Speed		k2 Speed Display


If there is enough interest, I'd be happy to develop and make available a spread 
sheet so that each K2 could have it's own CW speed calibration document.
