Title: PTT for DX60B Post by: VE3LYX on October 24, 2012, 08:56:59 AM One of the weak points in the DX 60 and many other Am rigs is the switch . Often they are worn out going from AM to stdby and back continually. Partly because of arcing perhaps and partly just wear and tear. I added push talk to my DX60B several months ago and use it now all the time. Below I will give step by step instructions. AMfone - Dedicated to Amplitude Modulation on the Amateur Radio Bands
1 Remove your CW key from the drawer. 2 Plug it into the key jack on your DX 60 or DX60B 3 When you want to talk Press the key while talking. 4 When you want to standby let the key up. Done. No more switch arcing , no more reaching, no more trouble. In fact I bought a used foot switch and use it now when I am speaking. Drawbacks? Only one. It is so simple most will refuse to even try it.
