I'd like to repeat a feature request:
The option of NONE for CW KEY2.
This would allow use of a mono plug to send external CW. A few days ago I
went to drop my KX3 into the position I normally use with a rig that uses a
mono 1/4 key plug. Even with an adaptor to 1/8, it wouldn't work
Hi Jim !
It's generally accepted convention today that virtually
all key plugs/jacks are three-circuit ... tip, ring and
sleeve ... in both 1/8 and 1/4 diameters.
IMHO, modifying software to satisfy the wants of a few
of us isn't warranted. In your case, doing it right is just
a simple plug
Get a 1/8 stereo name to 2 X 1/8 mono ( L/R) adapter and you're in business.
You can plug your key/bug into one jack and the computer in the other.
Much simpler than doing it in the radio, which would only provide one of the
options.

There are many very functional radios out there that use a mono key jack.
In my case, the IC-746.
Most keyers have their output as a mono RCA jack. The K1EL USB WinKey and
the W9XT Unified Microsystems XT-4 are two such examples. A readily
available mono RCA to 1/8 cable is exactly what is
