Tom: These sorts of questions are really simply answered with
straightforward experiments. Take a 1/8" stereo plug (or cable wired
to such a plug), use your ohm meter to determine which connector
(wire) goes to the tip, then (after placing the K2 in TEST mode)
short that connector (wire) to ground to hear whether you get dots or
dashes. Recall, however, that even if you wire things backward, you
can reverse them through a menu selection.

I have a K2 which, of course allows the user to switch between left
handed or right handed use of the CW paddles, so this question
might seem academic, and perhaps it is.
I have a question as to which way to wire my bencher paddles to
conform with any standard that might be out there. Obviously the
ground should go to the ground portion of the plug,. Can anyone
tell me if the tip connection of the plug generates the dots and
the middle (is that considered the 'ring'?) the dashes, or is the
other way around? As I said for he K2 it doesn't matter, but if I
use these paddles on a different rig, it might (I have enough
trouble sending righty, if I try sending left handed I'll really be
in trouble...hi).
Tnx for your help
