[ct-user] Summary - Keying 1000MP

[Tony]

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
