PTT keying - Donsass - 11-24-2017
I have the 706MK2G software installed and mainly working under windows 7. Unfortunately the PTT key function does not seem to work. My configuration is: COM1, 9600,8,1,N,RTS and DTS = OFF PTT is enabled on COM1 :RTS PTT key is CTRL. The Tune function works but neither pressing the CTRL nor clicking on the mic icon (although the red light glows on) seems to work. I have changed PTT and COM1 configurations using DTR, serial port modes and different com speeds but nothing works.
Do you have any suggestions.
Thank you

Hi,
for the IC-706 you have to use a different PTT port from the CAT port, for example if CAT communication is on COM1 the PTT port can be on COM2
