This is true, the audio was adequate, but not very loud; I could hear it
fine, but with the Icom beside it, it appeared not so loud.

Well, there is not a specific ground tab in the triangle formation as
illustrated in the manual. Instead, there are two terminals in line with
a central rivet. If one was just a tie point, then I could use the
rivet, I suppose. I was probably a tad tired to figure it out.

OK!
There is one teensie little problem left, and that is the paddle modes
behave exactly the same. I had been using an MFJ keyer on my Icom, with
the Curtis chip; I set it up to be able to switch between A and B mode,
so I'm quite familiar with that.
I am wondering if there could be a solder bridge between 2 IC pins
somewhere, thus preventing switching between A and B modes?
