I used to own a Heathkit SB200, long before I bought my K2. I used it with
several solid state rigs, but in order to keep the high keying voltage out
of the solid state transceiver(s) I used an external keying relay. As the K2
will only switch a few milliamps, an external relay will need a transistor
to drive it. An opto isolator is a more elegant solution... but a relay and
transistor will work fine. If you don't want to modify the K2 to bring out a
switching line, the KIO2 will be needed (probably a better idea as it keeps
stray RF from the inside of the K2).
