Brad,
While either will work for the KX2, I would suggest wiring only to the
tip and shell (leaving the ring open) - and set the KX2 menu correctly
for that configuration.
That same key can then be used on other transceivers (even those which
accept a mono plug) that do not have the configuration flexibility of
the KX2.

Hi Brad,
Either the tip or ring on the stereo (TRS) plug should work.
Check to see if the CONFIG:CW KEY2 is set the HAND.

Subject: [Elecraft] Stupid KX2 straight key question.
The instructions with my KX2 say to use a stereo plug when wiring up a
straight key, so I wired mine up between the tip and the base leaving
the center contact open. This configuration does not work for me. When
I replace this key with another using a mono plug the radio works
perfectly. Am I supposed to wire the stereo plug up using the tip and
center contacts on the plug, Or the center and base of the plug ? If
this is the case I did not find any note of this in the owners manual.
Moron Looking for an answer.
