[Elecraft] Yamaha CM500 PTT Switch

[Bill Frantz]

I use the Elecraft MH2 microphone as a hand operated push to 
talk switch with my Yamaha CM500. The CM500 is plugged into the 
back microphone socket and the MH2 is plugged into the front 
socket. The MIC SEL menu option is set to rP.L bIAS. Works like 
a charm.
