Gary:

Are you using a 3 contact (stereo) plug to the key jack?  A 2 contact plug will 
short things out and key the rig.

Also, if the FT-950 has a built in keyer is it turned off?  If the built in 
keyer is on, it can exhibit what you describe when you try to send with 
Writelog.

Subject: [WriteLog] Yaesu FT-950 CW Keying

I also sent this question to the FT-950 Reflector but I have not found a 
solution.

Is anyone in the group using Writelog with their FT-950.  I have been unable to 
get it to Send CW correctly.  I have tried all settings in Writelog and also 
the menu settings on the FT-950.  It will only send a series of dits or key the 
rig continuously.

l am using a simple home-brew, one-transistor interface, plugged into the Key 
jack on the rear of the FT-950.  It has worked perfectly with other radios 
(IC-736, IC-746PRO, Kenwood TS-2000).

My interface works perfectly with other software including Ham Radio, Deluxe, 
N1MM and AC Log by N3FJP.

I upgraded from Writelog V11 to V12 with the same results.
HP Duo Core E8400 Desktop
Windows 7.0 64-Bit
3Gb Memory
Using Com 1 (Serial Port, not USB).

Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Gary, wy0v
