Al,

I think you have the idea PTT means it always has to be "tape down the mic button for a geezer type monologue." While I operate phone with PTT, I make a habit of switching back to receive frequently, that is, whenever I pause for a few seconds or longer. It's important to not let the switch be somewhere inconvenient like on the mic stand at arm's length. You really need either a hand-held or headset mic or a mic on a boom with a hand or foot switch. In doing this I hear people breaking the roundtable or I hear my buddies talking to each other during my transmission, a clear sign I've gone too long! it's a delight to catch them when they think I'm not listening but I usually shut up also.

73,
rob/K5UJ
