[Elecraft] K1 Keyer Problem...

[k4zm]

Rui:

Check to make sure your keyer paddle contacts are cleaned and making a low 
resistance contact when closed.  The Keyer circuit in the K1 generates dots 
and dashes by connecting two different values resistors to ground.  The 
voltage drop determines whether it is a dot or dash.  Burnish the keyer 
contacts and I feel sure the problem will go away.
