Mindful that I am neglecting my hand keying, my sending being spoilt by
the ease of using an iambic paddle, I have connected a straight key
across the paddle keying line using a pair of 1N4148 diodes as shown in
the K2 Manual. This works reasonably well, but occasionally when
pressing the straight key I get a string of alternate dots and dashes.
I presume that the problem is caused by the reverse resistance of the
diodes being too low. I tried putting two 1N4148 diodes in series in
both lines. This is better but has not cured the problem completely. Has
anyone else had this problem? Or does anyone have a suggestion as to how
both a paddle and straight key may both be connected to the K2 with
reliable results.
