Here is a simple single resistor mod that may be helpful for some: I am beginning to realize that I will never be able to exceed 20-25 wpm CW speed. The speed pot of the K2 however covers from 9 - 50 wpm with 30 wpm in the middle position. Thus the range which is useful to me is just a small fraction of this range.
In order to map 9 - 25 wpm to a larger range, I emulated a logarithmic pot by soldering a 2.2 k resistor between the wiper and the CCW end of R1 on the Front Panel Board, the 5K Keyer Speed pot. In this way the pot stills covers the full range from 9-50 wpm, but 22 wpm is now in the middle position.
