I tried to do the same thing with the K2. I wired up a parallel junction box and plugged my paddles, straight key and bug into the box with one line going to the rig. I used diodes in the box as recommended to allow the manual keys to work with the K2's keyer. It worked but wasn't reliable as the keyer sometimes got confused. I going with 2 simple solutions:
1. Put the paddle away, use the bug and straight key only. 2. Buy a K3 (which has separate inputs for each). A third solution exists which also works wonderfully - use an external keyer and wire that in parallel with the manual keys, feeding the K1 in manual mode. - Keith N1AS - - K3 711 - -----Original Message----- From: Ben Harold - KG4BYN i can get it to work just fine in straight key mode, but the k1 can't handle the config for the paddles. note: the straight is in parallel with the dah side of the paddle. _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
