[ct-user] CT + Paddle keying MP1000MP

[Gary Letchford]

Why can't you get a jack that has two inputs and one output on it.  Put your
keyer in one input,   your ct line in the other input and plug it into the
keyer slot.  And you're done!
Tapping the keyer does not stop the computer from sending,  but anyone
should be able to overcome that problem by just paying attention.   Used
this method for
many years and never has failed
