As usual, wiring for mic for my T4X is a mystery for me, I think I have
the PTT part wrong maybe.
First, I have another mic, a Turner, wired up OK, I use it strictly PTT,
not VOX and it works fine.
I recently got another mic from Ken, W8EK

My scope shows it does have good output, better than my Turner (with
built-in amp) actually.
Having trouble making the wiring happy.
T4X manual sez: "connections to plug are: tip - push to talk switch,
sleeve is microphone, body is common for both".
When it says "sleeve", I'm assuming that's the part wired between the tip
and the back / ground part of the plug (in the middle of the plug) ?
The cable for the mic I got from Ken has white, red, black, and braid. I
had thought tip would be white, red would be body / back, black would be
middle / "sleeve".
Not behaving correctly however.
How should I have it ?
I seem to remember something about making a choice between VOX and
PTT. Is
there some way to be able to do either ? If I have to, I guess my
preference is PTT.
I also seem to remember that with one of the setups, when I go back to CW
I have to screw around with the VOX gain or something...
Thanks, Chuck, K1OM
