For certain Keyer Out must be connected to Key with a jumper, short or
long. RCA to RCA. A new Corsair II came with a very short jumper. It can
be feet long, probably should be shielded. Then my manual is not clear,
I suspect you need to ground PTT or to enable VOX to transmit on CW. And
to decide on QSK or not to QSK.
