Hello,
?
I see a lot of discuss and possible solutions but they all require a lot of skill and possibly equipment.
I know that VOX is frowned upon for a number of reasons. Although maybe it would be possible to get the custom firmware on the quansheng to be more responsive.

The use case here is either a total noob to this hobby, or someone in a less developed country where getting additional parts might take longer or be more expensive.
Also a simple mental exercise on to "hack" the most of out the available parts should be pretty interesting.
?

So I see a lot of solutions being offered for how to trigger the PTT but they all involve a lot of work. Please do not tell me, why these are not really "problems" or how the end user "should already know how to do this"
as this is often the easy answer offered in almost all communities when something requires a lot of additional thought.
?
Is there then a way to get PTT to work using only the CM108 sound card, a standard set of 2.5 to 3.5 and 3.5 to 3.5 cables and a raspberry pi?
if adding additional wires to connect something from the sound card to the pin is unavoidable then maybe something that can be connected using dupont style connectors for example
might be any option.
?
All of these parts should be easily found just about anywhere in the world at this point in time.
?
Sorry for the rather direct approach but as someone who has been in a bunch of technical communities for a very long time. I have experienced the usual short answer and then someone comes along and finds a new way to
do achieve what was previously undoable via some clever hack or unexpected bug.
?
thanks for your patience and consideration
