I have a K1 that is about a year old.  Love it.  Sometimes I like to use the K1EL K42 keyer with it.
This keyer is a CW Keyboard and a Morse Reader coupled to a dynamite good Message Memory function.
This setup works very well. But presently, I am using a splitter off of the headphone jack.  This is usable,
but a "line level" fixed output would be nice to have.  Has anyone already solved this issue?  It seems that the W3FPR circuit and a 1/8" jack next to the keyer jack would work.  Audio could be tapped off of the (input/output) of the existing LM386 through a suitable cap. - I think.  Any thoughts??

Sincerely,
