Hi Jerry:
Yes, the TS-2000 does use a relay for CW keying, but it is very fast.
I am not a high speed CW operator, so whether it is fast enough for you, I
can't say.
I hear things between characters but I do not have mine set up for real high
speed.
The book talks of many changes that can be made for best CW operation.
I hope that helps you a little.
I know I sure like mine!
