external keying with the K2

[Richard Haendel]

Does anyone know how to "disable" the auto keyer in the K2?  I want to use the Idiom Press CMOS 4 keyer and feed the K2 via the key jack in the rear.  

Thanks ahead of time

 Go into the menu, select "InP" (for "Input") and then select "HAnd" for
"handkey".  That should do it!

If you want to run under about 25 wpm, you can use diodes in the plug to
make it Auto-Detect. Then switching from keyer to computer and back is easy.
I run mine with a stereo splitter and both are hooked up simultaneously.

However, to answer the question you asked, ADET ON/OFF is a menu choice for
Auto Detection. But this isn't what you want. You want INPUT = HAND.
