Just to nail down the test case, you are keying via the key input (if
so, in straight key more or in auto-detect mode), or programmatically
through the serial port?

Don,
The computer generates an on-off. Writelog does not allow any adjustment of
keying characteristics. The Bencher generates an open or ground. Why does
the K2 recognize the Bencher, a mechanical switch, as soft and why does it
recognize the computer as hard?

Ralph,
There is little to nothing that one can do to alter the keying waveshape
from the outside of the K2, so you are likely hearing something different
than the keying waveshape.
How does the computer program handle the keying 'weight' - I would expect
that to be the difference you hear. Change the weighting characteristic
in
the program to something different (if the program allows you to change
it)
just to see - and then set whatever you desire.

I finally hooked up my computer keying circuit, 2N2222 off the parallel
port, to my K2 before the CQWW contest. I have noticed what appears to be
a
significant difference in the keying characteristic from the computer
versus
the keying from the Bencher key. The computer appears to have a
significantly harder characteristic than the Bencher. This is observed in
the sidetone as I have not checked it with a 2nd receiver. Has anyone else
noticed this phenomenon?
tnx & 73's,
Ralph W1ZK
