Funny thing is that my Elecraft rig training threw
me for a loop with my Ten-Tec Rebel and some
"aftermarket" firmware loaded which includes a
keyer and other features. That keyer does an
autodetect based on the plug: Stereo means a
paddle and Mono means a straight key. So when I
plugged in the st. key I use with my Elecraft rigs
I got a series of dots! A stereo to mono adapter
made it work with my Rebel.

I didn't know there's an auto detect, I've been

"Hand" whenever I went to a straight key. Can
you point me to the auto
detect function?
The key jack in the K2 is a stereo jack. A mono
plug will short the "ring" contact. Just put a
stereo plug on your hand key or bug, run the
"hot" wire to both the tip and ring, the common
goes to sleeve, and when the K2 senses they're
both happening at the same time, it will go to
hand key. Mine does every single time, it's
automatic.
You can also go to Hnd in the menu if you want
to and don't trust the "automatic" stuff. I
often don't, but this one works.

Thanks Matt, very much, I had that sinking
feeling. Auto detect
doesn't work
then I guess. I bought this K2 second hand,
nice little rig. Had it
over two
years now. Normally use the BY-1 paddles. 73
