Bill,

Do you mean that it transmits dashes until the dit side is released?
If so, check the dash spacing on your paddles (increase the spacing) and clean the paddle contacts.
Also increase the spring tension on the dash side.

It sounds to me that somehow the contacts of the paddles may be 'getting stuck'.  I cannot think of any this could be a problem inside the K2 - unless RF Board R1 and R2 are something other than 220 ohms and/or not well soldered.  You can remove the left side panel to check R1 and R2.

I am using a K2 pre-3000 SN model with all the upgrades to the new PWB
configuration installed. Software version is 2.04R. When sending an "L" by
pressing the dit side of the paddle continuously and touching the dash key
as the first dit is being sent, sometimes the rig transmits continuously
until the dit side is released. This happens maybe once in 20 times. Any
help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
