[App_rpt-users] URI active low?

Tue Mar 1 21:17:03 UTC 2016

I seem to recall some people having issues with the PTT output not being
pulled low enough, you might try searching the list archives for a similar
situation.  I recall several fixes from adding a reed relay,  inserting a
diode in line, or using a transistor buffer, might have been a jfet.
