George,
Can you configure your software so that it uses the same opto for PTT when
not in CW mode and CW when in CW mode and just ignore the CW opto? With
TenTec's QSK there's no need for a PTT signal when in CW mode. I don't know
what software you are using, but I'm pretty sure this configuration can be
done with MixW.
