Re: FT-736R won't send CW
I know it's a simple anwser but make sure the CW plug is wired the same. It might be a stereo plug and wired differently for the 736R and the 767.

I know I must be missing something obvious but I can't get my FT-736R to work in CW mode. I plug in the same key I use with my FT-767GX, press the CW button, turn on the VOX, press down the key and nothing happens. Rig works fine on SSB and FM. Before I open up the case and dig in, what am I missing??
Thanks!

Hi Allen,
Presumably my earlier suggestions to the 736 forum all checked out, unsuccessfully. One other thing to check: If you have a volt meter, measure the potential across the key. Mine is a tad over 7 volts. If you get zero, it's possible that there is indeed something wrong inside the rig.
I've checked both of the rig's owners manuals, as you probably already have, and the diagrams for plugging in a key or paddles are identical.
Good luck,
Greg KO6TH
