FT-847 Code Key Issue
Posted: Tue May 03, 2016 2:31 pm
Good day,
I have a stupid question. I have an issue with hooking up a straight key to my FT-847. i am totally missing the obvious. When I plug into the key jack into the back of the radio, it goes into xmit mode. Nothing I do can get it out. I have tried multiple plugs and wires. I currently have gone and bought a headphone cable from radio shack and cut the end off and wired it to my straight key. Same thing. I have looked in the menus, made sure the connections were good and no stray wire was coming off and arcing, even took the key off and plugged in without the key.. Same result.
Any words of wisdom appreciated as i am out of hair (pulled it all out). I am sure it is an obvious thing that I am just missing
thanks
