This is interesting. I learned on Iambic A, and that's what I used
for years on my CMOS keyer. When I started using the Iambic A on the
K2, however, I found it frustrating beyond belief. As a lark, I
switched to the K2's Iambic B, and, lo, it was great. It worked as
naturally to me as the A with the CMOS. So go figure. I eventually
switched the CMOS to B as well, and all goes nicely. So go figure.
In any event, if you're trying to determine which to use, give them
both a try. Take the one that seems initially most reasonable, and
then stop thinking about it. Just send.

The one that is more difficult is probably the one that you didn't
learn on.
I didn't learn both and am not fully aware of the subtle
differences between the two. I do know that I was glad there was
an option because whatever the default value was didn't work well
for my sending style! I found the menu option and it became just
as easy as sending with other electronic keyers that I was already
used to.

Subject: [Elecraft] k2 iambic modes
Is the manual incorrect on the menu mode for Iambic? It lists
Iambic A as
being the easier to operate. I believe it should state Iambic B.
