Re: [TenTec] 706 mic ptt switch problems

I have noticed inconsistent operation of my 706 PTT button too. I 
assumed it was due to the high humidity here in Hilo. I use the button 
to key the rig for checking SWR or for slow keying. The 706 has no other 
purpose here. A J-38 plugged into the rear panel PTT jack solved the 
problem.
