2 things:
1. You can turn the K1 output power off completely ("Pwr = 0") by tapping
BAND/DISPLAY when in the Out Menu. Tapping BAND/DISPLAY a second time
turns power back on.
2. Because of paddle design, the dit and dah sides interact on some
paddles when the paddle-to-contact spacing is set extremely close.
The Begali Simplex Mono exhibits this feature, for example. So check
it with wider paddle spacing if you can.
