Are there factors that make one radio far easier to send cw with than another or is it just my imagination? If so - what are the factors that affect how sending cw "feels"? Thanks folks.

Tim -

If you are using the internal keyers in both rigs, there may be far more difference than A and B modes.

The keyer in the K2 is very good for my taste, but each person has a different preference. Besides A and B modes, the method of weighting, auto completion of elements and autospacing are just a few variables that can change from keyer to keyer.

I prefer the Curtis timing and A mode. But, the best keyer I have ever used is the Idiom Press CMOS 2. It, and the later incarnations, have about 9 different timing methods that are user selectable. Eventually you find one you like.

Some of the recent keyer kits I have tried have timing I just can't get used to and changing weighting is a real adventure on some of them.

Bottom line is that keyers differ widely.
