The difference between
them seems to be the 706 PTT switch latches, that is,
the operator must push once to transmit and push again
to receive.  The 705 PTT is the more familiar "hold to
talk" type of switch.

I have two TT 705 microphones. They both have two transmit buttons. The smaller black button is a latching button (actually I think it is a momentary contact button connected to a latching circuit) which can be unlatched either by pushing it again, or by pushing the other larger grey button. The larger gray (both spellings are in the dictionary) button is a momentary contact button which works as a standard non-latching push to talk. They also both have a 9V battery compartment. I don't have a TT 706, so I cannot what their features are.
