Hi Fred,

The K2 has this delay function built into its firmware. Look up '8R Hold' in the current manual. Once enabled in the menu it will keep 8R (and the Keyout line on the KPA100) keyed as long as the keying hang time is set for.

I have the circuit from the Elecraft web site.  Unfortunately, my SB-220
won't really do QSK.  Any ideas on how to modify the little perf board
interface to put some (hopefully adjustable) delay in the release to
simulate semi-QSK with VOX for the amp?

You shouldn't have any trouble using the keying output of the k2/100, which is
based on the 8r line.  There is sufficient lead time to safely key QSK amps (I
forget how much, but maybe 15 msec? -- someone who knows, please jump in).  I
have used it with homebrew vacuum relay QSK systems as well as an Alpha with PIN
diode switching.  You should not need the key-in/out setup.
