[bars] A quick question going digital

[Jason Grennell]

So I can generate ptt either from the cat port or the data port, both key 
the radio.  Audio is sent and received via the data port, seems to be 
working as it should.

A look over the block diagram and I checked for bad solder joints. Besides 
a resistor and a capacitor, there isnt a lot between the jack and the dac.

Even tried a full factory reset to clear out any weird settings and then 
adjust for digital.
