TWIST A PIECE OF BARE WIRE AROUND MIC JACK
POT & RADIO CABLE INSTALLED
AND TIGHTEN .WRAP ONE END OF THE TWISTED WIRE
AROUND THE THEADS ON THE SWITCH AND TIGHTEN
THE SWITCH.SOLDER THE OTHER END OF THE TWISTED WIRE TO THE SWITCH
TERMINAL AS SHOWN
ADD ISOLATION TRANSFORMER. SOLDER WHITE WIRE TO CENTER LUG ON POT
SOLDER YELLOW WIRE TO TERMINAL ON SWITCH AS SHOWN. SOLDER RED AND BLACK
WIRES TO GROUND
YOU MUST MAKE THE CONNECTIONS BETWEEN THE MIC JACK AND THE SWITCH DEPENDING
ON THE PIN NUMBERS FOR
YOUR RADIO (SEE YOUR OWNER'S MANUAL) THEY ARE PTT,MIC,SHIELD
GROUND,AND ANY OTHER GROUNDS
ONLY ONE LEG OF THE POT IS SOLDERED TO THE SWITCH.THE BLUE WIRE SHOWN IS NOT
USED
THE CABLE COMMING FROM THE SOUNDCARD IS SOLDERED TO THE INPUT LUG OF
THE POT (1K)
THE PLUG THAT GOES TO THE RADIO SHOULD MATCH THE PINS ON THE MIC JACK
I DIDN'T SHOW ANY CONNECTIONS BETWEEN THE MIC JACK AND THE SWITCH BECAUSE
THE
PIN NUMBERS FOR MY RADIO MAY DIFFER FROM YOURS
THE MOST IMPORTANT THING HERE IS FOR NO RF TO GET INTO YOUR SSTV
SIGNAL OR YOUR
MICROPHONE WHILE TRANSMITTING.THE ABOVE METHODE IS VERY EFFECTIVE IN
PREVENTING
THIS
set the pot for 3/4 turn clock wise
