Don, W3fjp finally figured out what I was talking about as far as having a QSK On and OFF feature for the K2. All other rigs I've owned over the past 40 years included a method to place the rig into CW standby. Call it whatever you want, CW Standby, QSK OFF, CW Monitor etc... The only way its related too Vox is turning off QSK uses the Vox button when in the CW mode. Which places the rig in the cw test mode. That way the rig can be keyed without putting out power. Page 96 of the manual. Maybe I'm the only one who uses mechancial speed keys with the K2? I have five speed keys hooked up in tandem and I need a fast way to test and adj them. Which is more often than you think. So the Mode/Vox button has a 3rd feature while in the CW mode which is called CW TEST but there is no indication of that on the front panel. Just something you have to know exists. And Yes, I would like it a lot if the rig defaulted into QSK Off Modeor CW test mode when it was first turned on. Or at least had that feature available as a menu option. So it could be used that way if you wanted. I dont use an electronic keyer (paddle on cw).... That takes all the fun out of CW :-) Frank W7is _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
