Correct, in my experience, raising any practical vertical from ground
mounted even up to 10 ft off the ground and using drooping radials does it
much good.

I never would have guessed. I read that Begali has changed the contact

Yes, inventorying is a very good idea, and sometimes there are parts of

I kept hoping someone who knew would jump in here, but nobody has. So, I'll
do it. The K2 doesn't use the same pin for dit and dah. That's how A-DET
works, on separate pins.
The K1 does use the dual-voltage scheme, and I have no idea about the Kixie.
However, the K2 will not care one whit.
