Make up the little 2 transistor keying switch that Elecraft posts on their site.
It works great.  Use it to key a shorting relay on the input to R2.
It will be activated before rf leaves the K2, and released after rf ceases.
That should be all the protection you need.
Good luck and 73

Hi, I am going to operate a little in the CQ WW 160 meter contest this weekend. My problem has always been too much noise on receive...I'm an alligator. I want to try using my 20-meter quad as a receiving-only antenna. The question is: the quad is right next to my inverted-L transmitting antenna. If the quad is connected to the K2 rant input, is there any danger of damaging the K2 when transmitting at the 1.5 KW level? 100 watts?
