2.5.3.2 Cautions
CAUTION:
Although in-line PTT drop cords can be used to conveniently address a
number of requirements for microphone and PTT control, they can also
be a source of trouble if incorrectly configured, or improperly shielded.
Many in-line PTT drop cords use the PHONE LO connection as the
ground reference for the ICS and TX PTT keylines. The PHONE LO
connection in the AMS43 is floating, which will lead to incorrect keying of
the intercom and radio systems if this type of drop cord is used.
In-line PTT drop cords can be a very real source for crosstalk if the MIC
wire pair in the drop cord is not shielded. The source of the crosstalk is
the high level Phones audio being coupled on to the MIC HI/LO pair in
the in-line PTT drop cord, because of the lack of shielding for this wire
pair. Once the mic line is contaminated, the undesired audio can be
sent into the audio system as ‘mic audio’, then processed and distributed
to all other audio controllers via the ICS Tie Line.
