You made a keyer or a key?
Refer to the manual for wiring up a straight key vs. an Iambic paddle.
In the CW menu, set option 5 to straight key. Also make sure break-in is set to full, or semi and not off.
Look on page 44 of the manual. Follow the directions on page 50 where it talks about keyer type.
Also for straight keying, hook the cable from the key to the tip and base. For a set of paddles, the dot (or left paddle) goes to the tip of the plug. The dah (or right paddle) goes to the ring (middle), the common or ground goes to the base.
ALSO, make sue either way you use a stereo plug.
Cool.
I have a key I made out of old relays from a Drake radio years ago. Works as good as any key made.
If I was home brother I'd have a Q wit U!
Too slow is not trying at all!
Sounds like a great start to me, keep at it and speed will come to you. Practice using good spacing and accuracy, that's the mark of a good CW op not speed.
Not bad, and I've certainly heard worse.

The spacing is the hard part for me. Been listening to cw on youtube to get a feel and visualization of da & dit
