[Elecraft] Yamaha CM500 PTT Switch

[Don Wilhelm]

Steven,

The hard part is finding a handheld switch that you are comfortable 
with.  As someone mentioned, if you have another microphone with a PTT 
switch, plug that into the front panel and plug the CM500 into the 
rear.  When the rear panel microphone is selected, the PTT button on the 
microphone will work (but the mic will not).

The other alternative is to find a cable mounted switch that you are 
comfortable with and solder an RCA Plug to the end of the cable - plug 
it into the rear panel PTT jack.
