I looked at the 5000A manual for the pinout of the FlexWire port and there
are no unused pins. That means someone needs to design and build a FlexWire
adapter to provide PTT out for external devices. Based on the currently
available information, I'm not sure how I can use the 1500 with my
transverters without such an adapter.
Does FlexRadio plan to offer a FlexWire to PTT adapter or do I need to
design something myself?

Fairly certain that PTT is on the FlexWire port.

RF keyed, although that is less than desirable. However, all of the
transverters that I'm aware of require a hard T/R relay control. Am I
missing something? If not, how does Flex propose that we key our
transverters?
