I use a simple 12v reed relay which I got at radio shack.  I put a 10 uf 
capacitor across the coil to absorb the bounce spikes; otherwise the 
relay will follow the bouncing!  It will work for a very long time on a 
9v battery or you can use a 12v supply.  It works perfectly with 
autodetect mode on my K2.
