K2 60m Kit & N0SS keyer

Chris Meagher-4
I bought a 60m add-on kit for my K2, but on reading the instructions, I
find it is incompatible with the N0SS amp keyer that I have fitted, in that
they both use the same socket. Has anyone found a way to have both
installed? Reply off the reflector OK, to [hidden email]. From Chris

Chris,

Since they both fit into the same space, only one can be present in the K2.
BUT - the K60XV has a low power KEYOUT signal available at pin 2 of J2.  
As long as your amp keying requirements do not exceed the current and
voltage that a 2N7000 drain can handle, you may use that to key your amp.

For my K2, I added an RCA jack near the key jack and wired the keying
output to that jack.
