Dear Joe,
I do use 740Hz as a work-around. But, for me, the higher the better.
From F#5 to A5 makes a difference. I'd go even higher than 880Hz if
there were available consonant tones between 880 and 1000. But 880 is
the highest possible with 10Hz increments, provided of course that

I don't know how high you want to go but B5 is within 3 Hz of

At higher tones even 5 Hz (C6 = 1046.5, D6 = 1174.7) is probably
acceptable to all but the most highly trained ear since

You cannot use DTR to key the K2 (but it is OK on the K3). You will
have to split out the DTR pin and run it through a transistor to
activate the K2 keying.
*Periodic warning* - even though the K2 AUX I/O connector is the same
size and shape as a PC serial port, that *does not* make

I think you are looking at the wrong menu item; you are seeing CONFIG

Check your firmware level. It sounds like you do not have the latest

If it is not 2.45 MCU and 1.92 DSP, then you do not have the noise gate
