I am happy the way it is. With one exception, CW Messages can ONLY be recorded using the K2's ELECTRONIC KEYER. You cannot use a handkey or an external keyer to load messages. THe K2 must be able to monitor and capture the contact closures of a paddle connected to the DIT and DAH contacts of the keyer. The notable exception is a program written by Leo Starrenburg, PL5LS which allows you to type a message into your PC and then have it send the PADDLE closures to the K2, which will then capture the cyber-contact closures and record the message.
