K2 problem-stuck on xmit

[Elecraft mailing list]

Hoping someone's run across this issue before...

If I tune or close the connection on my straight key, my K2 transmits continuously and won't revert back to receive. I have to power down the radio to get it out of transit mode..

Thoughts???

Larry,

What happens if you unplug the key?  If it goes to receive, look for the
problem with the key or the cable to the key - something is telling the
K2 that the key is closed.

Also check what happens if you connect a dummy load -- do you still see the problem?

You probably have a mono plug when you should be using a stereo-plug.
My guess.
