John, Maybe you are working on it too late :-) .
If the keying stops when the key is removed, I would suspect the key and cable rather than the K2. To see if there is a key jack problem, plug a bare 3.5mm stereo plug into the jack. If your plug is only partly inserted, the dash contact in the key jack can be touching the shell - that will key the K2 with dashes momentarily until the plug is seated. As a side-note -- I have found several K2 owners who severely tighten the dress nut on the key jack (and the BNC jack as well). That really is not necessary and can damage the jack. Just tighten a little bit beyond finger tight. The nut holds neither the rear panel nor the jack in place, it is just there for appearance - just tight enough to keep the nut from backing itself off is sufficient. 73, Don W3FPR On 1/21/2011 10:25 PM, John Shadle wrote: > First follow-up. > > When I unplugged the key from the back of the rig, the keying stops. > If I change the input to "hand" then it keys continuously (once I plug > the key back in).
