[Elecraft] K2 Keying on SSB
I just discovered that when I hit my key while receiving on a sideband mode, it keys the transmitter. Is this normal for the K2? I've never had a transmitter do that.

Re: [Elecraft] K2 Keying on SSB
I don't know about the K2. It is an option on the K3 and many operators switch to CW to finish SSB contacts or make CW contacts in the phone band when conditions are marginal. I have elected to have the option on my K3 and wish I could have it on my TS-480. If you have it on your K2, enjoy, it is handy and great. More used on 6 meters, but is great on other HF (and very legal everywhere!)

Re: [Elecraft] K2 Keying on SSB
Dale, The K2 uses the same internal signal line for PTT and DOT input. The result is that you can also use the dot paddle or hand key for PTT as well as the mic switch. 73, Don W3FPR On 5/6/2014 10:24 AM, d...@k4eq.net wrote: I just discovered that when I hit my key while receiving on a sideband mode, it keys the transmitter.
