I have ver. 3 without any firmware update. I had initially a trouble where cw was sent incorrectly even with my laptop and the homemade optoisolated interface I use for contests. After tinkering quite a bit I found a kit by wb9kzy, the island keyboard with the output for tube transmitters that works perfectly. The output of that kit contains a solid state relay and I think this makes the trick. Maybe a regular relay which is cheaper (but noisier) could be used as well, I may try it. The relay might assure a clean contact. If you opt for the relay solution please let me know whether it works for you.

I suggest not changing firmware yet, until any bugs worked.
I have made dozens of qsos in default setting. Yes its different but it works. Note when you are key down there is a brief pause,? then action. The display changes to say CW. Now if your pause is long, it will revert to ssb, annoying so I try to not pause so long. Yes the length before this happens can be adjusted, but I found default the best.
Take time to determine hardware is working. Then consider the kd8cec upgrade, that many prefer for cw. Your rig may be okay. BTW I am using an audio filter for narrow receive. Its a nice rig but takes some operator adjustment.
