John,

If you are plugging it into the K3 KEY jack, no harm at all.
If you are plugging into a K2, KX2 or KX3, then you must use a stereo plug to keep the transceiver from going into transmit when you plug in the cable.

Begali sent a defective cable when they delivered my straight key.  So, I went out 
an bought a two-wire (not stereo) cable & plug from Radio Shack.  Seems to work 
fine.  Am I doing any damage?
