[Elecraft] K2 internal keyer problem

[Peter Wollan]

This sounds like the K2's auto-detect feature, which allows connecting
both paddles and a straight key or computer, along with a couple of
diodes, at the same time and sending from either.  If the paddles are
squeezed at exactly the same time, it looks like the straight key to
the circuit.  If I remember right, it can be avoided by choosing
normal rather than auto in the input menu.
