Eric, I trust you meant the Keying signal on the K60XV instead of the K160RX - yes, that will key the KPA500 just fine.
The KPA500 keying requires sinking only 1 ma. and the open circuit voltage is only is less than +16 volts. The 2n7000 in the K2 can sink up to 200 ma. and can handle up to +60 volts, although I would de-rate it to about 75% of those values just to be safe. 73, Don W3FPR On 10/10/2011 1:33 AM, Eric wrote: > I took the ptt line from my K2's K160RX board.
