My comment about the K2 referred to the use of the mode switch (on the 
K2 PTT and one of the key lines are physically the same, so a mode 
switch is essential).  Where PTT and key lines are distinct, I would 
still see it beneficial to implement with the mode switch, even if it 
was also implemented as a, transmit only, feature with the key.

Unfortunately, K2 firmware changes are much more costly, although it 
might be worth stocking up on blank parts, in case the source is ever 
opened.
