Another solution for this, at least for CW, is to get a WinKeyerUSB.
Those have two outputs, a PTT and a Key line. There is a variable,
programmable, delay between when PTT is activated and when the Key
line becomes active.
I use the PTT to key my amp and 30 mS later key the K2. The delay

One option for the K2/transverter hot switching problem on CW is to build a
sequencer which breaks the TX IF line, like this one:

This only works, however, if you are running very low IF power from the K60XV
(or at least run the 10W
Has anyone come up with a simple fix to add an external PTT line to the K2?
I recently picked up a used K2 and just completed building a 222
transverter. I didn't realize that the K2 does not have a Transmit/Receive
switch. So, I will be hot switching, in CW mode. WSJT is not a problem as
there
Lloyd,
If you don't like my fix for this situation, you can use a footswitch to
activate your amp and switch your preamp off-line before hitting the
paddles - just don't make any mistakes and get things in the wrong order.
I have not seen anything comparable to my solution. It was intended
