Dan, I am referring exactly to weight. Yes, the K2 has a weight adjustment but it does not, or should not, know the difference between the Bencher key and the keying from the computer running Writelog that is paralleled onto the same wire going into the key input. The computer input is run through 1N914 or equivalent diodes. My K2/100 has the key click mod but that should not make any difference in this case. Why the difference is in weight is my question.
