[TenTec] New Yaesu Rig: Joke's on you guys

[Robert & Linda McGraw K4TAX]

With 3 pins, being a balanced input and ground, where is the PTT connection?
I doubt that the input is truly differential balanced.  And if so, does it
provide phantom power for the "great quality" large condenser mikes.  I
doubt that too.
