That is definitely the preferred way to key the K2 for computer-generated CW to 50 wpm or so. The comments about using an audio tone in SSB mode had to do with generating High Speed CW (HSCW) such as used for meteor scatter and similar work. That involves CW speeds of from about 100 up to 800 wpm or so. The rise and fall times of the keying wave shaping circuits in the K2 make it unsuitable for normal CW keying at such high speeds.
