Hi John,
I asked this question of Yaesu last year and got the answer that the output
of the internal keyer is in firmware; it is not a physical point. He also
mentioned that they corrected their oops in later rigs starting with the FT920.
I found a TiCK keyer velcrod to the side of my WBL paddles as a viable
solution. $50 and I get to take it with me to other rigs, too!
Have fun & 73, Tony
