| Subject: | Icom A6 PTT wiring |
Hi,
I've got an ICOM A6 radio that I would like to rewire to remove the existing PTT
and use the one in the new handle I purchased. The new handle has 4 buttons
on top that I want to use to control my EIS and the push to talk on the front
for the radio. The problem I'm having is the existing PTT has one button but two
switches under it. One is wired NC and the other NO. The NO switch controls
the transmit which I can get to work with the button on my new handle, what is
the other switch for? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Tony

I'm replacing the lexan on my mkIII and would like to know what was originally
used for rivets? The ones I drilled out have an aluminum body but the mandrel
seems to be steel... is this correct? A magnet sticks quite well.

Tony B/Gang:
Kolb used to send aluminum closed end pop rivets for attaching lexan windows
and windshield. Yes, these rivets did have hardened steel mandrels and were
a bugger to punch out prior to drilling out a rivet.
I use them the first couple times around on windshield installation.
Now I use hardware store aluminum rivets with aluminum mandrels for any
lexan installation. Makes life a lot easier when it comes time to replace
the lexan.
Sorry I could not help you with the PPT, stick grip question. Not familiar
with multi-switch type grips.

Tony, as you say the NO switch is all you need for transmit. The NC switch
might be for an intercom or something.
I made a PTT for my UltraStar, built it right into the stick. All I used
was a single NO switch.
