Gerry,

CW must be put directly into the RRC. Why don't you use the CW input pin 
on the RRC's RJ45 (see RRC documentation)? Been using that since the 
first days of RRC making it to the market (when they did not even have 
the internal keyer) for a straight key or external keyer connection ...

73 & gl,
