OK, that's your prerogative. > A dedicated PTT line is a normal requirement for a transceiver. It has one.

I guess I am confused as it appears to me that it is already there, just on the mic jack and not repeated on the back panel. > I am not interested in "no brainer" projects like that. Well, in my experience playing with transverters and preamps located at the antenna I don't see any way around having a sequencer. Even when using relay switching I would use the mic PTT line to key the changeover relay and the contacts on the changeover relay to key the transmitter. It is really nice that Flex provides sequenced contact closures with the F5K but rolling one with a microcontroller using power MOSFETs as switches seems pretty simple to me. But I understand the gist of what you are saying, just not the part about how they didn't provide a PTT line. > off soap box....
