Well, SBDVP has a PTT option that uses the same pin as TR does, on the LPT
port.  I haven't checked to see how it works with two radios, but it works
well with one, and is fully integrated into TR's normal operating mode,
rather than having to hit a flock of function keys.  For example, you can
record a CQ Exchange and have it play each time you enter a call and hit
the [enter] key.  Very smooth.

I guess Rich's concern related to using VOX and having RF already being
generated as the amp relay switches.  The SBDVP PTT switching should solve
this.
