You probably overlooked the simple thing. The PTT line is DC and once the SCR fires it will latch. If you had AC then the voltage goes to zero and the SCR unlatches.

(same thing I use to control my Christmas lights from my computer). However for some reason the PTT won’t drop when the SSR shuts off. I know there is some voltage bleed on them but I can’t figure out why it would stay grounded afterwards. Any suggestions on that one?
