Using a J37 straight key with a KX2

How do I wire the two leads on the J37 to a stereo plug to use with the KX2?

Use a TRS plug and use the Shield and either Tip or Ring. Set Key port to Handkey.  I'm pretty sure the KX3 manual had a diagram and suspect the KX2 dies as well.

DO NOT USE A MONO PLUG!
