That's not how a K is sent. A K is a dah with a dit-insert. I think the fru-fru _MAY_ be that it's difficult to slap the key to B, but you can to A. However, if you are squeeze keying, either will work - AFTER you learn the timing.
Mode A K: dah: DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH dit: DIT keys: Daaaaaaah dit daaaaaaah Mode B K: dah: DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH dit: DIT keys: Daaaaaaah dit daaaaaaah Interesting, THESE are identical. The limits of where you can let go of the DAH paddle probably differ, but the "normal" K is the same in both A and B. Hold the DAH for the duration of the letter. Stick in a dit sometime before the end of the first dah. Maybe mode B will create an additional dah output if you release the dah inside the letter. I don't know, because that's not squeeze (iambic) keying. That's just wrong.
