i haven’t checked the manual, but I didn’t do anything special to make my keys work with the flex.
if you didn’t want to build a cable this, I think, would accomplish your goal:

I have changed the cable so I KNOW the manual is incorrect it is sleeve and ring not as the manual say. Cables bought that for example work with n1mm use tip and sleeve. My keyer is working with my conversion between this cable and the maestro if connected directly to the radio instead the converting cable bit is not needed so the radio itself uses tip and sleeve not ring and sleeve like the maestro is0

Maybe I did some “swap dit/dah” settings in the Maestro. Odd that such a simple convention would be wrong in the manual.
GL!!!

Also odd that the Maestro and the 6000 series radios would require different wiring for straight key plugs.

This is only for the straight key the manual is correct for the manipulator pat so the dit and dah is on the right place.0

well neil if you have a maestro simple just try it0

No mater how I connect the ring/tip/sleave, I can not get a straight key to work. Unless there is a setting in the radio, no matter if you connected to the tip/sleave or ring/sleave it would be dot dot dot or dash dash dash. Draw it out as a simple schematic proves it out. I have a 6400M and can not get my straight key to work.

You have to turn Iambic off as well in the keyer menu.
It should be Tip and Ring only on the M model.

Iambic is DISABLED

Have you checked the wiring diagram in the 6400M/6600M manual?

I just tested this with an straight actual key on my 6600M.
Key was wired Tip and Ground on a Stereo Minature connector.
If you have done all that, and it still doesn't work please open a support ticket.

FWIW.... I did a test and found Straight Key "tip and ground" wiring seems to on my Maestro and 6400.
