Took up contesting when I retired. Intimidating at first, but now I
liken it to Snowboard Cross or Short Track in the Winter Olympics ...

After finally realizing you have to turn the RS-232 interface ON in the
K2 menu (see male comment below), I recently got the K2/100 hooked up to
a port on the TR computer for contesting (far future plan is another
K2/100 for SO2R, or maybe I'll succumb to old age first). QSK got some
getting used to since I run semi-QSK on the TS-850 and I am not used to
hearing the other guy while I'm (or the computer is) sending. K2 is
such a better rig however, it was worth the effort to get them both
going for the comparison. Look for a large jump in my scores ... but
don't hold your breath unless you're a whale or a dolphin.
For the record, I run T-R at 0.02 because that was how the K2 was set
when it was born, I don't argue electronic design with Wayne, and I
didn't know what the menu item meant so I skipped it. Being male, I
didn't consult the manual for directions. I'll have to diddle with it
and see what happens.
Wonder how it affects the amplifier keying line from the KPA100?
Maybe we've seen the solar minimum ... nearly all the ECN stations on 20
this afternoon (including Kevin) were readable. With his antenna
pointed at the western frontier, Tom was full bars of course. At least
there's hope, and I'm going to stick to that story.
