[WriteLog] PTT CW on 1000MP?

[Jerry Pixton]

Barry,

This sounds similiar to what I discovered with my FT1000mp. I use the W5XD 
keyer and I tried to use WriteLog thru the Rig control to command PTT. But 
the FT1000mp would drop out after the first dot or dash. I had to look at 
the command codes from Writelog to convince myself that Writelog was 
correctly asserting PTT ON (via the CAT interface) at the beginning of a 
message and  PTT OFF at the end.

It was the FT1000mp that was dropping out of transmit on the first keyed 
character. I thought it was just my FT1000mp that had a glitch. I had to 
use the PTT signal from the W5XD keyer port and a transistor switch to the 
PTT input of the FT1000mp to make everything behave.

So it looks like we have at least two FT1000mp with the same problem?
