To simulate a set of paddles for testing, get a stereo plug and solder three
wires to it--tip, ring and sleeve.  That gives you a dit, dah and gnd
contact.  Shorting the dit lead to ground should give you dits, and shorting
the dah lead to  ground should give you dahs.  Wouldn't want to operate this
way, but it's fine for testing.

I only have a "straight Key" at this point to test with. I don't have a
paddle keyer. I can't get this section to work. I may have miswired
anything (ex. the straight key in to the "stereo (2 circuit) plug.
Several of the steps seem to work, but I get "no" "dots and dashes"
through to my earphones.

Any suggestions please.

The TIP is the tip or end of the plug, usually its the solder tab connection
that appears to be right in the center of the plug looking straight at the
end, (with the black plastic cover removed).

The RING is the small ring or band just below the tip, usually this is a
small solder tab just below the solder tab for the tip. There will be in
insulator above it (to insulate from the tip), and just below it (to
insulate from ground or sleeve).

The SLEEVE is the long portion of the plug that is normally at ground
potential the solder connection for this is usually part of the cable clamp.
