[Elecraft] ERR PTT

[Joe Planisky]

Hi Dunc,

Are you saying that you got the ERR PTT indication when nothing was  
connected to the rig or at least you couldn't find a definite cause  
for it?  That's what happened to me.  I was getting ERR PTT with  
absolutely nothing but power and antenna connected to the rig.  After  
partial disassembly for inspection, everything started working again.   
I never did find a definite cause.
