I own several DigiKeyer II's and a Micro2R and I have never noticed any RFI issue. I have done nothing special in my installation to avoid RFI, but I do eventually intend to bond all of my equipment per K9YC's site. I have not used the Micro2R with an Elecraft on SSB yet (except into a dummy load),

Stewart, If the Microkeyer has connections only to pins 1, 2, 3 and 5 of the 9 pin connector, one can safely plug it into the K2 directly. In your case of an external KPA100, you have a existing cable connecting the K2 to the KPA100. You will have to bring out another cable from the K2 end conta
