[Elecraft] K2 and K3 Key/Phone Connections

[Don Wilhelm]

Don,

Sounds like a good plan to me.  I might suggest the EC2 enclosure.
The switches obtained from a 4 port data switch will have more poles 
than you will need.

You might also consider building a keyer into that box.  The K1EL keyers 
are inexpensive and quite good.  If you contemplate also keying from the 
computer, choose the Winkey.
