[1000mp] It''s terrible to get old! RTTY help please.

[Kostas Stamatis]

Hello Tom and others
HNY to all
PTT is via pin 7
CW via pin 4
and ground is on pin5
you need an rca connector connected to ptt back of the radio.
Vox works only if you connect to mic or in patch (agn rca connector). 
Becareful that patch in and mic are in prallel. So you must unplug the mic.
www.rttycontesting.com is a very helpful site.
Ask me agn if i can help you
73 and hope cu in RU
