Ralph,
Another, or an "again" way of saying what has been said is:
You are assuming that the K2 sees the Bencher and computer keying as
the same. If that were the case, they would be....the same.

The K2 does NOT see the Bencher and the computer as the same. It sees
the Bencher as triggering the K2's internal keyer and applies what
ever weighting that implies. It sees the computer as a straight key
so the dit/dah ratio is what ever you apply sending by hand. Except
it is not your hand that is sending. It's the computer software
program. So the weighting of of the computer program controls its
keying ratio when sending by keyboard and the weighting of the K2's
internal keyer controls the Bencher ratio when sending by paddle.

Paul
