[ICOM] keying 746pro

[Gary Nichols]

Kelly, that was how I had hooked it up (going from memory from last contest)
and the straight key input on the back panel would not key the
radio...opened the radio and found nothing wrong...closed it back up and
tried again and then the computer would key as well as the paddles plugged
into the front panel so I guess it was oxidation on the straight key
connector that plugging in and out cleaned and it started to work
again...lack of use I guess, de gary, kd9sv

It's easier than that: plug the paddle into the front-panel elec. key jack.

Plug the computer into the rear-panel straight key jack.

Then you're good to go.
