[Elecraft] clipped cw on k2

[Don Wilhelm]

Trev,

By 'clipped' do you mean an actual clipped waveshape?  If so, check the 
two capacitors mounted on the back of the Control Board at U10 and Q8. 
These are associated with the Keying Waveshape circuit and if not 
connected to the proper points will distort the normal keying waveshape.
