Hi Paul,
- I've built keyers with optoisolators and also just with FETs and never had a 
problem with either method.
- Regarding audio transformers: I built my original so2r headphone switch 
without one and had constant buzz in audio from one of the rigs.  I added one 
transformer (on the audio from the left rig) to allow isolating the grounds 
between rigs and it silenced the buzz.  I used a 1:1 audio transfromer from 
local electronics store with no mfr. or part number markings.
GL,
Chris VA3NR.
