[Elecraft] Stupid KX2 straight key question.

[Cady, Fred]

Hi Brad,

Either the tip or ring on the stereo (TRS) plug should work.

Check to see if the CONFIG:CW KEY2 is set the HAND.

Subject: [Elecraft] Stupid KX2 straight key question.

The instructions with my KX2 say to use a stereo plug when wiring up a
straight key, so I wired mine up between the tip and the base leaving
the center  contact open. This configuration does not work for me. When
I  replace this key with another using a mono plug the radio works
perfectly. Am I supposed to wire the stereo plug up using the tip and
center contacts on the plug, Or the center and base of the plug ? If
this is the case I did not find any note of this in the owners manual.
Moron Looking for an answer.
