But if you go to the instructions for enabling the CW mode it specifically
says "3-conductor plug" in the section for a straight key/keyer. This
conflicts with the hookup diagrams. Which one is correct? Should he be
really using a 3-conductor plug for all hookups? If so, where should
the wiring go?

It actually makes no difference whether he uses a two or three conductor
3.5mm plug. Just ensure that the '817's internal keyer is disabled using
the menu, and ensure that your keyer is configured for normal, positive
keying and not grid-block keying (it probably is already set correctly
as grid-block keying is very rarely used nowadays).

That's what I would think. I will have to double check the configuration.
That's got to be where the problem is. Thanks for the feedback.
