Well, this was an interesting morning.  Thanks to Bob (KØRC) I figured out that 
the MFJ-1279 had to have Jumper 5 between pins 1 and 2 AND the jumper normally 
on Jumper 6 (which normally keys CW) removed completely.  If it is in place 
only the mark tone will be produced.
 
As previously noted, the CW cable from the RCA jack on the back of the MFJ-1279 
that goes to the TS-2000 key jack must be removed and replaced with a cable 
that runs from the RCA jack to pin 2 of the ACC2 jack on the TS-2000.
 
Also, with the TS-2000 in normal FSK and WW in FSK (LSB RTTY) I was 
transmitting reverse FSK (although I was receiving RTTY signals just fine.  
When I switched WW to FSK (RTTY R) (which also switches the TS-2000 into FSK 
Reverse mode) I was transmitting just fine although I had to switch to reverse 
RTTY on the front panel of WW to be able to receive.  All report on the air are 
that all sounds okay, but it seems strange that I have to have the radio in 
FSK-Reverse and listen in reverse to make it all work.
 
At any rate, it is possible to get WinWarbler to key an MFJ-1279 and a TS-2000 
in FSK.  
 
Thanks also to Dick (AA5VU), Bill (WN5H), and Ben (WDØ0GTL) for helping with 
on-air testing.
 
What needs to happen is to create a second output on the MFJ-1279 for CW so 
both CW and FSK can be keyed without changing jumpers and cables.
