Coworker has a JTAC buddy in town that will let me try a couple of his on the radio. I went ahead and ordered a U-94 ptt anyways, if the issue is the ptt I have now then I can scrap it for parts and stick with the U-94. If its the radio, then I will have a backup ptt when another radio arrives to replace the faulty one. Maybe Ill get lucky and someone will offer me $800 for this one!
