[aprssig] Mic-E and HTs

[Scott Miller]

Ok, now you've got basically what I came up with.  Only I wasn't able to get 
PTT detection directly from the I/O pin (this was with a Motorola GP68 
handheld, don't remember the troubleshooting sequence exactly) so I added a 
transistor there.

The only problem I've encountered with this setup is that the audio is lower 
than I'd like.  Larger values for the capacitor help, but I think I'm still 
going to have to add an op amp or transistor there.

But my question remains - has this always been the accepted way of doing it? 
Why isn't there any documentation out there about it?

Argh, your right.  I was too quick to draw that.
I fixed it now with the typical 2.2k resistor...
