The answer to your question is     yes.

The keying transistor or mosfet will handle it.  I have used it with my 
Alpha 374A and it worked fine (It did however weld the relay in my IC-746!)
I think the K2 is good for over an amp to key your amp.

If God intended you to be on single sideband, he would have given you only
