Hola Luc,

I do not think you can do what you want with just one cable.  I
believe that you will need a separate COM port (could be a virtual
port with a USB cable) and a CW keying interface connected to the CW
Key input of the FT-991.  Something like this (there must be less
expensive options out there):

DX4WIN does not support sending CAT commands to the FT-991A in order to send CW.
