I ran into this exact problem when setting up to operate both CW and  
RTTY with my FT1000MP and the RigBlaster Plus. Here's an excerpt of  
my solution that I posted on a couple of lists (including this one, I  
believe, a year and a half or so ago):

"Having gotten this far, I decided that the way to solve the problem  
was to put in an additional switch for the DTR on Key jumper. I  
drilled a small hole in the side of the RigBlaster Plus cover and  
installed a small SPST toggle switch. I ran wires from this switch to  
the DTR on Key jumper terminals on P5. When I want to do CW, I throw  
the switch to close the jumper on DTR on Key. When I want to do FSK,  
I switch it the other way, removing the jumper on DTR on Key. TXD on  
Key is jumpered all the time."

Hope this helps.
