On my K2 Is it ok to put a 1 - 10 nF bypass cap across my straight key?
I've got a 6M KW amp and evidently rf was getting into the key line at power levels over ~350 W and keeping the system keyed all the time. Three turns on the keying wire (mini zip cord) through a split bead fixed it, but I'm getting on air comments about key clicks. I'm going to switch to RG174 on the key and intend to add 1 - 10 nF across the key terminals, if its not harmful to the K2.
