K3 / MH2 PTT problem

David F. Reed-2
I have a new problem crop up seemingly with the PTT on my MH2 / K3
setup; sometimes it works fine, but might drop out in the middle of a
transmission, with the K3 display momentarily displaying (it flashes by
pretty fast) something about PTT Problem...

I am trying to figure out if there is anything to check besides taking
the microphone apart and cleaning/de-oxing it.

Any hints would be welcome.

Re: K3 / MH2 PTT problem

If you are getting an ERR PTT when you power on, then either the key
(Paddle) is closed or the PTT in the microphone is stuck in the active
position.

Remove the hand key, paddles, any PTT switch or footswitch and
microphone to see if the Error goes away.

If things are then OK, plug each one in one at a time and do a power
cycle - when the Error message occurs, you will know that the last thing
you plugged in is causing the problem.
