Re: Circuit for second PTT that will mute Mic but allow line-in...
John, Thanks for the schematic!? That all makes sense to me, and it matches the math in your previous post, so I appreciate putting a picture to the words. I know in the past I have connected my

Re: Circuit for second PTT that will mute Mic but allow line-in...
Hello Rob, Replying to your first question: a mic output is generally in the 10s of mV. On top of my head I have 50mv as a typical mic input voltage for radios, so 100mv was king of a safe value for a

Re: Noon question now noob question
Hi, There are several reverse polarity schemes that can protect the radio from damage in a reverse polarity episode. That is an episode of connecting DC power source with the positive and negative

Re: Circuit for second PTT that will mute Mic but allow line-in...
I would say the diodes you saw were to prevent any signals greater than the forward bias voltage, rather than signal routing. -- 73 Dave ADOB ( https://www.qrz.com/db/AD0B ) Raduino bracket and

Re: Circuit for second PTT that will mute Mic but allow line-in...
I have refined my requirements a little. - The default input (enabled, even if neither PTT line is activated) is the computer line-in.? Why?? So that I can do PTT via CAT control if desired. -

Re: Circuit for second PTT that will mute Mic but allow line-in...
John, you mentioned 100mv for the audio signals, is that ballpark for both computer audio and mic audio?? I guess I'd assumed it was around 1 V p-p or line level or somesuch.? But I haven't measured

Ahem -- You can take Bill Cromwell's guidance to the bank. I used a 3amp fuse, and discarded the diode.? The way I figure it, every single power source in my house (and my zip code) has center pin

Re: Noon question now noob question
I will second Bill's assertion.? A fuse does not prevent the magic smoke from leaving your radio, though it's blowing "might" mitigate further damage if you're lucky. A fuse keeps your house or car

Hey Evan, thanks for the quick response.? I follow the logic of the NAND gate, and also the forward biasing.? What I'm confused about is the reversing biasing, i.e. turning off a given input.? My

Hi Rob, Check the switching and circuits in your mic. I don't know what is inside ALL mics, especially not the el cheapos. My mics have always had a separate pole on the switch for the mic audio. If
