Vic and others that may be wondering on this. I use auto-detect with a hand key and paddles on the same line. The two diodes are mounted under my paddles. I have never had a spurious long dash or any other problem with the paddles, but I have noticed that if the contact on the hand key gets a little dirty, occasionally the hand key will cause alternating dots/dashes to be sent. Not sure if this is a diode anomaly or something else. Cleaning the contacts on the handkey by burnishing with a piece of heavy paper has always seemed to fix the problem when it occurs.
