Use this tab to select the Input/Output device and volume levels.  If using a headset/microphone you must select the proper device from the available drop down menu before you can send or receive audio.

External PTT Options

Make changes to the following:

  1. Use External PTT Input: Set a specific key combination to use as a PTT Button. (Not all combinations will work as some keys have specific functions tied to Windows, like the Windows key, or shortcuts such as Ctrl + P.)
  2. Key: Select the key you would like to use as a PTT talk button shortcut
  3. The check boxes below regulate what other keys, in addition to the key you programmed, will be required to press simultaneously.

For example, if the ] (right bracket) key is entered in the key field and the box is checked for Shift, then pressing Shift and the 1 together becomes the PTT button (Shift +1).
