Re: uBITX Mic Wireup

Dex You are right on. Since the electret microphone uses a microphone voltage resistor inside the uBITX or BITX-40 (or any older BITX with electret microphone) it is possible to sense voltage drop across this resistor (with a MOSFET...?) and key the transceiver when the microphone circuit is closed. This is for those who are wondering how to connect a 2-wire electret microphone with built-in PTT switch. This is particularly useful for those cheap combination ear-buds and electret microphone that we see in the Dollar Stores. Arv _._
