Perhaps you just acquired a K2 ? If so, the first thing to check is the menu
setting regarding the type of input the K2 is expected.
Go to menu -- look for InP - now press and hold the menu key and there are
three
settings --
PdLn -- for a paddle to use the built-in keyer
PdLr -- same, except dit and dah are reversed on the paddle
HAnd -- this is for a straight key or direct keying input from an external keyer
If you lack a manual, download it from Elecraft ... or if you problem is more
complex provide a little more info for the list, such as whether this is a
'failure' or your learning to use a real nice rig.

Subject: [Elecraft] K2 keying question
Two questions - both may be due to incorrect set up so please bear with me...
1) Just tried to use the K2 and first key stroke put it into tx mode and would
not 'un-key' unless switched off and switched back on. I found that once re-set
in this way, if I changed the mode switch to something else then to CW, this
cleared it and it's now ok. It's not done this before. Any ideas?
2) I have noticed that the first key stroke after switch on produces little if
any RF for about half a second, or until the next dot or dash. I have often
noticed this, though put it down to some error in set-up. But since I have now
just had the first problem, I thought I'd ask about this one now.
Thanks and regards,
Ian, G4JQT
