For CW operation while using the internal
electronic keyer, connect a keyer paddle to the
PADDLE jack.
For CW operation without using the internal
electronic keyer, connect a straight key,
semi-automatic key (bug), electronic keyer,
or the CW keyed output from a Multimode
Communications Processor (MCP) to the KEY
jack.

(1/4") 3-conductor plug and a 3.5 mm (1/8")
2-conductor plug, respectively. External electronic
keyers or MCPs must use positive keying to be
compatible with this transceiver. Use a shielded
cable between the key and the transceiver.
Note: Due to the functionality of the internal electronic
keyer, you may find it unnecessary to connect both a paddle
and another type of keyer unless you want to use a
PC-based keyer for CW. Read the “ELECTRONIC KEYER”
section {page 33} to become familiar with the internal keyer.
