Mike,

Does that happen with a dummy load?  If it only happens with an antenna, 
you have a lot of RF in the shack that should be dealt with in your 
antenna system.

Do you have a stereo plug on the end of that hand key cable?  If it is a 
mono plug it could be causing that condition.  You must use a stereo 
plug for the K2 even though for a hand key only the tip and sleeve would 
be connected.

73,
