Hmmmm ... I remember putting the diodes in ... vaguely ... and I think
you told me to do it. My K2 is in my SOTA pack right now, I need to hit
the shower, so I'll look in the next few days. But generally, Don is
almost always right for a K2, and a few other K--- too.

Gene,
You *must* use a stereo plug in the K2 paddle jack no matter whether you
are using a straight key or paddles. If using a straight key (or
computer keying) connect only to the tip and to the shell of the plug.
That is true when using a direct connection, and not necessarily Auto
Detect.
Auto Detect will allow you to use paddles in conjunction with a straight
key (or computer keying), and requires two diodes.
