Hi all, I am finally getting the ol' radio back up and running after a few months of packing and moving from NC to WI. In my past life (in NC) I was mostly CW, but now that the shack is in the basement I want to get back on SSB.
I have an Elecraft desk mic (the Heil version from a few years ago). It has an input for a 1/4" footswitch controller for PTT. I've never used a footswitch before, so this is all new to me. I don't have a Heil footswitch, but do have an older Yamaha foot pedal which I picked up at a yard sale a couple of years ago. It creates a closed circuit whenever I depress the switch (and is open otherwise). The odd thing is that whenever I plug in this footswitch, the PTT is engaged when the switch is plugged in--and the PTT is disengaged when I depress the switch. This seems like odd behavior to me. Is there something in the menu that I need to change? Advanced mic parameters? I'm kinda lost. I cracked the case open to view the innards, but it's just two wires (tip and ground for the 1/4" cable) and a switch. I don't think there's anything I can do in there to modify things. The model appears to be a Yamaha FC5 ( http://usa.yamaha.com/products/music-production/accessories/footswitches/fc5/?mode=model), although I can't find a model number on it. Thanks! -john W4PAH Madison, WI ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
