[MRCA] J22/ARC-5 throat mic push to talk switch question

[Tim]

Throttle mic switch:  a zillion years ago I got a ride in the back seat of
a Navy flying club T-34 out of NAS Glenview, piloted by a crazy Navy
(former) chaplain - who was trying his best to make me puke...
The intercom button was on the rear quadrant throttle lever - and I
apparently had a death grip on it.  Pilot told me to let go - he was having
problems adjusting the throttle with me hanging on it....Duh!  Fun times....
