The transmitter reference voltage (0 V, +14 V or -14 V) is selected from the Polarities screen:
PTT is active when V
PTT
differs from the transmitter reference voltage by more than 10 V.
PTT is inactive when V
PTT
differs from the transmitter reference voltage by less than 1 V.
Maximum value of V
PTT
is ±60 V with respect to transmitter reference voltage.
Example:
To use 0 V as the keying potential, V
PTT
= 0 V; set transmitter reference voltage to +14 V; set PTT In to STD.

To reduce the number of cross-site lines between the control site and the transmitter, phantom keying may be employed.
This method has the keying potential (V
PTT
) superimposed on the audio lines instead of using a separate line.
The transmitter reference voltage (0 V, +14 V or -14 V) is selected from the Polarities screen:
PTT is active when V
PTT
differs from the transmitter reference voltage by more than 10 V.
