As others have replied, this is normal with the auto-detect circuit.
The flashing "c" is an indication that you are in test mode. It's
handy in case you might wonder why nobody answers your calls :^)

Hello All,
Unlike most of the people on this mailing list, my CW sending skill
is very
poor. So I have bought a paddle and am practicing regularly. One
thing I
have found with my K2 (S/N 5492) is that the CW test mode will sound a
continuous note with both paddles pressed. This happens
intermittently and
in mode A or B. I have been using speeds around 15 to 20 wpm.
The answer is to set the power down to minimum and use a dummy load
- which I
have been doing and the problem hasn't happened. I suspect its a
firmware
issue since the display is being a bit more active than usual
flashing the
'c' character, than when normally transmitting.
More an observation than a problem that must be fixed.
