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.
NEVER use any form of parallel wire cable anywhere around RF -- it is notorious for RF pickup. Always use twisted pair, or coax with a decent copper braid shield. CAT5 is four twisted pairs, each of which has good bandwidth and excellent RFI resistance.
