[Elecraft] [K2] T-R Driver Circuit to key KXPA100

[Don Wilhelm]

Heinz,

If you have the K60XV option installed in the K2, yes K60XV J2 pin 2 
will key an amplifier like the KXPA100.
The only difficult part is to find a place for a connector on the rear 
panel.  There is a place near the key jack where you can mount an RCA 
jack and not interfere with any components on the RF board - keep the 
jack as close to the top of the lower panel as possible.
