Paul:
Ditto on the IC-706. Use a stereo plug - shell and tip. Put it in CW
mode first(important) and enter Q4 menu (press and hold "disp"). Select
CW Paddle OFF. You can use other "Q" menus to change pitch and break-in
delay.

Paul,
I can answer with certainty on the K1 and KX1:
Yes, you must use a stereo plug - but you need only to connect to the shell
and the tip.
Enter the menu in the K1 and KX1 and set INP Hnd.
That is all there is to it. I do not have access to the '706 manual, but
you can check your manual to see how to connect the key.

Subject: [Elecraft] Help in hooking up my straight Key
I am on my way to the District <Wash. DC> to see the model train
display at Union Station before they take it down and when I get
back I want to be ready for SKN this evening. I have my key ready
to go i thought but can't figure how to configure the plug into
the radio <Icom 706, Elecraft K1, KX1.> I would like to use the
706 to begin with.
I figure I must use a stereo plug. I figure in using a 2 wire
cable from my straight key into the stero plug that one of the
contacts in the plug is not used?? Any way I tried a mono plug
into the 706 and could not get it to work.
