[Yaesu] FT-1000 keying a Ten-Tec Titan

[David J Windisch]

Happy Thanksgiving to all.

Got this from TT a few years ago:

Key the Titanic with your *external* keyer and use the Titanic key-out to 
key the '1000.  It's helpful to have a true weight control on your keyer or 
the on-air c-w will be light.  Relay latency adds up.  Connect the '1000 amp 
relay as usual to the Titanic amp relay, and QSK works on c-w and PTT/VOX 
works on SSB.
