I didn't know there's an auto detect, I've been switching the menu to
"Hand" whenever I went to a straight key. Can you point me to the auto
detect function?
The key jack in the K2 is a stereo jack. A mono plug will short the
"ring" contact. Just put a stereo plug on your hand key or bug, run the
"hot" wire to both the tip and ring, the common goes to sleeve, and when
the K2 senses they're both happening at the same time, it will go to
hand key. Mine does every single time, it's automatic.
You can also go to Hnd in the menu if you want to and don't trust the
"automatic" stuff. I often don't, but this one works.

Thanks Matt, very much, I had that sinking feeling. Auto detect
doesn't work
then I guess. I bought this K2 second hand, nice little rig. Had it
over two
years now. Normally use the BY-1 paddles. 73 Gene
