Thanks everyone for the input. (had to do my real job for a few days, so will be back to work on it now.)
To be clear on my setup: I’m using DIN 6 for audio, rx and tx, but using CAT for tx rx. not sure if this effects which audio/mics work. I know the speaker mic still has input.

No Data mode on the IC7000
Audio on the 13 pin is summed with the two mic inputs so if using that connector you will want to unplug the mic(s)
PTT on the miniDIN6 will mute both mics and the 13 pin and accept audio only from the miniDIN6. It is the better choice when going back and forth between phone and data since you can leave the mic(s) connected.
I say “mic(s)” because I made a short M-F modular adapter with the mic audio cut and used that for the Icom-supplied mic. I used a Heil ICM for the actual mic and used a footswitch with it. That gave me the ability to use the PTT on the ICM for hasty contacts, the footswitch when running a net, and the Icom mic as a handswitch. Plus I retained use of the keys on the Icom mic for direct frequency entry, stacking and so forth.
Love this radio. It’s now in my deployment box and gets exercised at least a dozen times per year.
