KX1 and Straight key

[Dave G.]

This is  a second email... I didn't se the first one get to the list!!

I want to ise a Straigh (Hand) key with the KX-1\
I'm assuming the following...

Tip => hot
Sleeve => gnd

Am I correct??? I saw nothing in the Manual to indicate which way it goes

That's the way it works on the K2.
No harm in trying it that way.

Dave,

Wire it that way and set the menu to INP HND and it should work FB.
