    (1) Have you disabled Iambic in the Phone/CW tab of the main 6600M menu?

    (2) Have you checked the key’s wiring against Sec 7.3.3 of the 6400M/6600M User Guide?

    There are a couple of ways to set up a straight key depending on what equipment you are using. Can you post what model of radio, and whether you are plugging your key in to a Maestro or the radio itself?

    I have a 6600M, with the key plugged into the back panel.

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
