You may wish to consider installing the SK-301 Soft-key module from
Harbach Electronics into your Collins 30L-1
An operating manual and schematic of the SK-301 is available under the
"Instructions" section.

The SK-301 is an interface module allows the K2/100 to key the Collins 30L-1
seeing only +1 volt at 1.5 mA. The module uses a IRF9610 P-channel HEXFET.
The original Collins 30L-1 circuit had -170 volts on the keying line (-120
volts on transmit).
This voltage causes damage to many modern solid-state rigs.
The cost is only $22.00 USD. Tax for Indiana residents is $1.32.
