My amp ptt is wired to pins 2 and 3 of the ACC socket. There are menu settings to tell the radio what bands to close on transmit. It's not easy to gather that this pin does the job from the manual.

I purchased a kj6ko amp and I'm trying to key it with my 910. I can simply run a ground from the PTT terminal when I want to tx. This isn't recommended but does work. The 910 doesn't have a single purpose amp control connector. Does anyone have an amp working with one of the existing ports on the 910. I don't need T/R switching as I'm just using 1200 mhz for tx only. The TX PTT control on the amp is rated around 7ma and 30v.
