Yes - it's a Power FET.  From the K3 Manual:

"KEY OUT (RCA/Phono) is the amplifier T-R relay
keying output, capable of keying up to +200VDC
@ 5A."

HiI understand you can use the key out on the kx2 to signal an external amp.
In the manual, it mentions to look up the voltage and current specs for this
in the specifications in the manual.However, there is nothing there. Does
anyone know the rating?can it directly drive a 12v relay requiring
250ma?Thanks, Tom va2fsq.com
