[Elecraft] Keying interface for K1/K2

[Floyd Sense]

Check the K2 manual for the answer for the K2.  I recently used the K2 in
the CW SS using the internal keyer and with Writelog doing most of the CW.
You connect both the CW keying line from the PC to the K2 keyer jack, and
connect each side of the keyer paddle through a diode to the proper jack
contact.  The result is that the keyer paddle activates the internal keyer
properly, yet the external CW keying interface also works.

Any CW interface for a serial port should work just fine for the K2.
