Solved.
One of those gotcha moments. I had the Bencher Keyer plugged into
the front jack for the keyer. And... I had the computer plugged
into the rear jack for the keyer. The plug in the back is really
old... like about 20 years. The plastic cover had failed some time
ago and broke off. No worries, everything worked fine until when
running some cables something pressed against the tip and ring and
shorted them. Unplugged, fixed it and everything is fine again.
That's why it was a gotcha moment. Something unexpected gotcha.

My ICOM IC-9100 has been
working fine for a long time, even this past weekend. A strange
issue popped up today. While on RS-44, I went to find myself as
I usually do. I pressed the SUB button, Pressed CW and the radio
immediately started transmitting. No dits and dashes as from the
keyer, just a solid tone. I unplugged the keyer from the radio
and tried again, same thing.
I did the soft reset, VFO/MEMO and F-INP/ENT buttons while
turning on. I then reloaded my memories from the RT Systems
programmer.
Repeated the CW on a local simplex freqency and same thing.
Any ideas? Of course I can whistle or say 1..1...1..1 to find
myself which is really not recommended.
