How to wire up the PTT push button supplied with my uBitx kit
Hallo group,
My uBitx kit was supplied with a tiny push button, I suppose its purpose is to make uBitx go into transmit (PTT). I' m not sure how I should wire it up. Do I?put it in the blue wire going from the mic ground lug to GND on the audio connector? Or in the orange wire going from PTT on the digital connector to the mic socket leftmost tab?? Frank PA7F |
Yes, the tiny button goes between the orange PTT wire and ground.

The microphone element supplied works well, be careful to get polarity right. Many here mount that microphone element in a large felt tip pen barrel or some plastic plumbing pipe.?? The switch works, but is small as you note.? Perhaps cover it with a piece of hard plastic so you have a larger area to press with your fingers, hinge that plastic with a piece of adhesive tape to your microphone barrel. Others buy a Baofeng??mike (may wind up being a Baofeng clone) on the web somewhere. Some of those mikes require a hole drilled over the microphone cover to let some sound in.
