Re: Couple of questions

What Tom said.? It's the way many HTs are keyed as well.

I built a cable harness roughly similar to what Ian described, hooking it to a Raspberry Pi 4B with a USB audio dongle.? The PTT side of things is kind of a mess, with some apps allowing the use of the GPIO pins and some forcing the use of a serial port DTR / RTS modem lines, which of course have the wrong polarity.? So it's a couple of switches and an inverter chip to let everything be plugged in at once.? I also have a 736R, so the switches also control which rig the lot hooks to.?

In hindsight, I think I would stick with the modem lines control, and not use the otherwise-convenient GPIO pins.? I think the modem interface is universally available among the apps (Direwolf, WSJT-X, FLDIGI, JS8Call, QSSTV), where only a few can do GPIO.?

The problem with the Mike input is one of inconvenient cabling, and the sensitivity to the setting of the mike level control.? The jacks in the back of the rig are fixed volume, so you can configure the software once, and then just use it with no tweaking needed.? Audio out goes everywhere; it's just the audio in that has the problem.

One page 16 of my manual in the section re "AFSK TNC Connections".? Check the diagram showing a 10uf cap and 2K ohm resistor connected to the AFSK TNC.

Easy to build your own if you can obtain the components.?

Ian, Greg

Thank you for your responses. I don't see anything in the manual that mentions the PTT keying on the DATA IN/OUT jack. Am I missing something?

How do I go about separating the PTT line or would it just be easier to use the front mic jack?
