Thanks for that.

Hamlib does deal with this issue but only when you select either DTR or 
RTS as the PTT port. Your set up is a little unusual in that you are 
using CAT commands for PTT and also have the DTR line linked to PTT.

You can resolve this either by changing the MicroHAM setup to not accept 
DTR as a PTT switch on the CAT port or you can switch to using DTR as 
the PTT method instead of CAT.

Which you choose may depend on your rig, for example if you have a rig 
that requires a different PTT command to select the back audio port (not 
the case with the 746Pro) then you will need to use CAT PTT, if not then 
DTR PTT should be fine.
