It really wasn't difficult in the first place.
Read the manual for the tuner.
Well, then how come the almighty Icom didn't solve that in like 10 seconds? Never mind the false information that the mic can't be used as a keyer!
Final update and end of story.... Fred the guy in the know at Icom just called me. He said the way to do it with the 7000 is to set the mode to RTTY and key the mic. Yep, this works good. His excuse for the wrong info is that 4 guys now support 150 different models of radios.
Well first off if you used those exact words especially the word "keyer" then the guy at Icom was 100% correct.....
Beats me, maybe he wasn't familiar with the 7000's many features.
You can always get one of these. I used one on my 706. Pretty handy.

I would be REAL careful before using anything that plugs into the tuner port on a MKII on a 7k,...........
the pinout and voltages are NOT the same
It works on both....
