One question on this -- how does this work for SSB? Is there a  
15-20ms delay circuit that allows the VOX to key before the RF makes  
its way out, or does the K2 simply clip 15ms or so of audio before it  
is transmitting?

I can see how this works for CW, since the K2 can delay the keying  
waveform by 15ms. How about SSB?
