[WriteLog] PTT CW on 1000MP?

[Barry N1EU]

(apologies if this post gets duplicated - email probs)

I just discovered that if I disconnect the keying line
from the MP, transmit is asserted correctly throughout
the cw message!  Plug in the keying line, and transmit
only flashes briefly at the beginning of the message.

Again, any thoughts on getting this working are
appreciated.  Is this problem present in other radios
or just the (my?) MP?

Tnx/73,
Barry  N1EU
