Yes, it does seem that cattle raising entails some bizarre problems.
Back when I worked for the Tennessee Valley Authority we held

to terminate at the Phipps Bend Nuclear Plant. One person objecting

I have a K2 which, of course allows the user to switch between left handed
or right handed use of the CW paddles, so this question might seem academic,
and perhaps it is.
I have a question as to which way to wire my bencher paddles to conform with
any standard that might be out there.
Tom: These sorts of questions are really simply answered with
straightforward experiments. Take a 1/8 stereo plug (or cable wired
to such a plug), use your ohm meter to determine which connector
(wire) goes to the tip, then (after placing the K2 in TEST mode)
short that connector (wire)
My K2 is still transmitting at 10+ watts even though it is set at a
lower level.
When transmitting the K2 says Hi-Cur and then shows a power level of 0.1
even though the wattmeter shows 10+ watts. I have checked pin 10 of the
control board P4 and it shows
0 volts when receiving and 1.2 watts
Are the range for the High and Low S-meter on the KX1 with Firmware Rev.
1.02, now Low 40-99, and High 2-7 ? The manual says Low 30-99, High 2-6.
I was just triple checking all of my previous settings on my KX1 since I
installed the new firmware and my S-meter settings are now slightly
different.
I am trying to run the BeaconSee program (http://sapp.telepac.pt/coaa/) with
my K2. I get the impression that this program is able to set the K2's
frequency and make it jump between the various NCDXF IARU HF beacons.
However, all I can get it to do is analyse the K2's audio input for a

Kieth,
OK, you seem to have VRFDET in proper order on your K2, so next step is to
check the circuits that are driven by the uP to control the power level.
To briefly explain how the power control works in the K2 - the power
requested is known to the uP, and the actual output power is indicated

There is no direct relationship, but the audio path does go through the

adequate contact to work at first, but has now wiggled loose.
You may want to remove the KDSP2 and put jumpers in to complete the audio

It is not necessary to use high altitude solder for altitudes
under 25,000 meters. One can merely use etheral flux with
standard 60/40 rosin core. Above 25,000 meter the solar
flux dilutes the etheral flux and so high altitude solder IS
required.
