[Elecraft] How do I generate a "Key Down" to tune an external 6m amp?

[WILLIS COOKE]

The easy way is to hold the dash on the bug.  If you want to use a straight key just wire it across the terminals on the bug.  You don't need but one key input.  The way the old telegraphers used a bug was to insert the flat connector between the base and the copper/brass strip that connects to the contact on the straight key and the straight key was permanently bolted to the desk and wired to the telegraph line.

My Old viproplex Bug does the cw for me and there seems to not be an
available jack for an old straight key.
I have configured some settings in order to keep me form applying power
before a PTT action closes a sequencer.

Thus I seem to have made it so that pressing Xmit or hold-xmit/Tune will
NOT issue a PTT action however will send out RF. This does not close
PTT anywhere so the Sequencer does bot close the relay on the PA and I
can't rune it up.

I can push the foot-switch and the relays all close. However, there is
no steady RF. Just what I can make in dots or dashes

Is there a way to get key-down WITH a closed PTT so external 6m PA comes on?
