[WriteLog] Yaesu FT-950 CW Keying

[Gary]

Keith and Lance,
Thanks for your input.  I am using a 3 contact pug that is wired as 
shown on Page 70 of the manual.  I have tried all combinations of 
settings for Menus 37, 38, 39, 40.  I have also tried Menu 48 to disable 
CW from the RTTY/PKT jack while in CW mode.

Is there something else that I am missing.  Keep  in mind that it does 
work in several other programs.

Thanks,
Gary, wy0v
