Hi Chris  The Yaesu family of radios like FT-100, 100D, 817, 817ND, 857,
857D, 897, 897D. ect  On the back is connect marked linear. Pin 2 ( TX Gnd )
is your ptt To Ground ONLY.  Pin 3 is radio ground.  Okay with that said its
only good for about 90 milliamps.  You may have too build a Ptt booster.

How do you guys using FT-857D as IF radios obtain a PTT or keying signal
to key the external transverter?

Unless I missed something when looking at the manual, I didn't see a
PTT output from that radio as stock.  Seemed to be only PTT inputs on
the various back panel connections.

Just curious...

Thanks.  Chris NØJCF
