[ct-user] How do send CW to an Orion?

[Joe Wilkowski]

Well, not quite, you can insert the stereo plug all the way into the MP and 
just parallel the ring and sleeve (not the tip)  with any external keying 
device, CT, keyer or what have you.  In addition, any number of paddles can 
be connected across the ring, tip and sleeve.
