If it's the same general configuration as the KR-50 (which is dual paddle)
the specifications state:
"Keyed Output: Reed Relay; 15 volt-amp contacts, 400volts, max.
It can be used to key all grid blocked keying systems as well as many
cathode keyed transmitters, limited as outlined later by the 15 volt-ampere
contact rating. For high current keying circuits, the KR50 can key an
intermediate power relay. Because of the extremely low contact resistance of
the reed relay when closed, this keyer is ideally suited to key very low
impedance and/or low voltage keying lines, such as those encountered in
transistorized equipment."
Again this is assuming the K50 and the KR50 use similar circuits.
