wow, Joe I know that you get tired of my weird "issues" and thanks so 
much for all of your time and effort to help me resolve this strange 
problem. Suggestion #2 below is what finally led me to what was the real 
problem. I had hooked a Yaesu MD-1 desk mike to the back port of the 
microKeyer2 and my heil headset to the front mike port on the 
microKeyer. The MD-1 has a switch TX-STBY on it... I guess in the 
process of hooking all this stuff back up the switch was moved to TX. 
Put it back to STBY and all my problems went away..... I feel so foolish 
but very happy to have it all working again!

Joe, you have been there for me so many times helping me with the crap I 
seem to get into and I REALLY appreciate you so much... I owe you one my 
friend! Thanks to all the others that offered advice too ! 73's Cort K4WI
