[WT-support] URGENT PLEASE HELP!!

[Steve London]

Have you checked the obvious, such as the 1/8" mono plug that plugs into the Key 
jack on the TS-590 ? Note it's a mono plug, not a stereo plug.

You could always use the Paddle jack, and internal keyer. Seemed to work pretty 
well for 3rd place WRTC-2010 finishers N6MJ and KL9A. You did bring a paddle, 
didn't you ?

73,
