[TenTec] Using Scout w/external keyer

[W5UXH, Chuck]

The answer to your question is NO: the problem does not go away if you use
an external keyer.  It does not matter if you are using the internal keyer
or an external keyer.  The microprocessor looks at the key line, so it sees
the
action of an external key.
