[Elecraft] k2 #7377

[Don Wilhelm]

Don,

I am sorry, but I do not follow all that you are saying "it keys, but if 
I just push the plug in far enough to just get a little pressure it 
works fb" - so I do not understand what works and what does not work.  
What do you mean by "it keys" - that would normally tell me that it 
works OK - it keys the K2 'with bug talk', so what is the problem with 
"getting a little pressure"?

Do you have a mono plug on that bug cable?  It must be a stereo plug to 
use with the K2 - connect between the tip and the shell - nothing 
connected to the ring.

73,
