How to key an external amplifier? 26 Jul 2022 15:09 #1

I am using ESDR2 software, looking for some way to key my external amplifier (it is home made) I just need a simple PTT action, for instance, when I press MOX it will send ground or send +Vcc (ideally +Vcc) so I can key up my external relay?
PA is enabled in the top of the screen, On the Ext Ctrl I tryied pin 14 but it puts out constant 15V, MOX on or off will not afftect it, also tryied pin 13 (X8PTT) but nothing happens when pressing MOX. I tried some clarifications in the manual, also in this forum, but could not find any practical way to do this.

Thank you

Hi,

the following is a widely used and working solution.
Pay attention during the soldering: burning the inside SMT fuse is very easy.
