[Elecraft] Strange occurence when paddle key is used when in SSB

[Don Wilhelm]

Todd,

The dot paddle line is the same line as that used for PTT - so you can
activate PTT by holding the dot side of your paddle (handy with a desk mic),
or the other way around, if you are operating CW, you can use the mic's PTT
button to send a string of dots.

If you just touch the dot paddle once and the K2 locks into transmit, there
is something else going on that should be investigated.

73,
