I use 4n33's here. Different ones have different "gain". Put a voltmeter on
the rig side to make sure it is taking the keying voltage sufficiently low.
Compare it to the voltage when the Kam keys it. I had a problem and it was
because the opto couldn't take it low enough. A replacement opto fixed it.
Make sure your PTT is working.
