I have K2 #4650, which has worked flawlessly for about three months. I have had several hundred QSOs, mainly CW, and have used all bands. I almost always run 5 watts. Today, a weird phenomenon raised its head. On 17M, I finished a QSO with an Italian station, and everything was working great. I started to call another station, and the keyer started sending a pattern of dot-dash-dot-dash-dot-dash... when I held down the dash paddle. The dot paddle works OK. The phenomenon stops when I reduce power below 2 watts or so. SWR is about 1.2 - 1.3. I experimented for awhile, and found that I only had the problem on 17M, nothing on 80, 40, 20, 15, or 10. Then I had a QSO with everything normal on 20M, then returned to exploring the problem. I now find the dot-dash problem has creeped in on 15M. Still no problem except on 17M and 15M. I scrolled thru FAQs, but haven't found anything. I strongly suspect a software problem, but am not sure how to proceed, and will appreciate the wisdom of the gurus on this reflector. Thanks in advance, Russ Eberhart, N9IV K2 #4650 KX1 #742
