Ideally, taking the keyer function out of the main CPU would
free up code space for other functions.
Fortunately, this idea is a non-starter. Removing the internal keyer
from the K2 would obviously reduce the K2's portability significantly,
requiring one to take, and power, an additional box in /p operation.
Bad idea.
Also, for what it's worth. I've used both the Logikey and the K2
internal keyer, both now for a number of years. Initially, I used the
Logikey attached externally, and I really didn't like the K2 internal
keyer, whose timing and response were sufficiently different from the
Logikey to cause me problems. But I decided to make an effort to learn
the K2 keyer, precisely because I was not happy with the idea of having
to trek the Logikey around for portable use. It actually didn't take
long to master the K2 internal keyer, although I found, rather
strangely, that I liked it in B mode better than A, which I had used
with the Logikey. And -- once I had learned it, I found I preferred it
to the Logikey -- not just a little, but a lot.
