Hank,
I agree with Ed.
The modern rigs need a closure close to ground. You can simulate
this by shorting the phono plug with a clip lead or wire.
Check your TS-2000 manual to see what type of plug you need for the
computer keying jack. It's possible that you need a stereo plug and
you are using a mono plug. Also, pay attention to where the key is
wired (tip or ring). Some Yaesu rigs use the ring and not the tip.

Subject: Re: [ct-user] CW USE WITH TS-2000
The CW interface has absolutely nothing to do with the radio, unless
you are using some old tube radio with 100V on the keying line. In
that case you will need an interface that will handle the 100V line
instead of the typical 5V or 12V lines found on today's radios. The
CW interface adapter that you purchased or built should only supply
a DC short when keying and an open circuit when not keying. You may
have a defective cable, have your port setup incorrectly, or have
your radio set for the wrong keying mode. You want to use what
might be referred to as a straight key mode instead of the internal
keyer. You also want to use a stereo plug with just the sleeve
connected to ground and the tip to the keying line, with the ring
left unconnected.
