Adding PTT to Main Board


 

I put a jumper on the V12 Main board to add PTT to the microphone jack. I'm finding it handy.

It works but there is a problem with that.? It means the digital and audio grounds are now the same.

That's strange! I did the opposite! PTT in was tracked to J16 Mic_In - Ring and I cut the track.

a bit strange, as Dr. Bill says they (PTT In Mic IN) should be isolated.
When I had PTT In tied to Mic In going to TRS jack PTT did not work.
After remembering Ver 10 and Dr. Bill,s hint I ran Mic and Mic Ground in a 2 conductor shielded cable Shield to Ground at front panel open on other end.
Mic in and Mic Ground? were inside shield and attached directly to 2 pin header on Audio Shied.
PTT In, Ground and Key A and B are now on 8 pin IDC going to ACC Jack on back of Main board.?
I use a foot switch on PTT In, all rigs are setup this way old habit.?
