mfj 422 keyer mod
 

I have an 422 keyer/paddle combo and had to cut the cable that goes from the
keyer to the rig. My TT has an internal keyer, but my rockmite and ohr 100a
30m does not. I had to cut it because I wanted a "remote" keyer/oscillator. I
rewired the innards to a 1/8" jack and the paddle itself with a 1/8" plug so
that I could leave the bulky keyer somewhere else during field day as i did not
need it. I want to be able to connect the keyer to my non-internal keyer rigs.
I am confused though about the cable. This is going to sound ridiculous, but,
do I need a 1/8 stereo plug or a mono plug? How does the cable work if only an
RCA plug is used at the keyer( shielded but that is still only two wires)? How
do I assemble an RCA plug to a 1/8" plug that I am assuming needs to be hooked
up for stereo? I am so confused.

Any suggestions are appreciated
