RESOLVED: CW Straight Key Jack on TS-480 - Mono or Stereo?

[WB4LCN]

It seems that in the instruction manual, for the Radio RRC it says that a 3.5mm stereo plug on both end of the cable can be used to plug into the TS-480 straight key jack. Is that correct, or will I need to make a cable that is stereo on one end (coming out of the PAD jack on the Radio RRC) and mono on the other end (key input on radio)?

Thanks much!

Hi Dave,

Although technically it should be mono on the TS-480 end, I found that leaving it as a stereo
plug works just fine. However, if you intend to add the FSK cable, then you must change that
to a mono plug.

Great! Thanks, Mitch!

I got CW working, just as Mitch suggested. My latency was OK. So far I've not had to change anything from default. I had my first CW contact on 40m last night.

BTW, thanks again, Mitch!
