Hi Tim,

Using a TT3 and a 9323 here. Found the relevant info via the NET and
Google. Not sure about your radio but the 9323 has a 15 PIN socket (DB15)
with 12V, TX audio, including the audio from the mic. A toggle switch
connects the hand mic and disconnects the TT3 audio making voice usage
straight forward.

Most CODAN radios have the voice squelch which is great for mobile
operation, but that squelch circuit will cut the APRS packet, thus the
audio to the TT3, to avoid TX during a packet, can be from the speaker out
but delay sufficiently the carrier detect settings in the TT.

For 100W TX output from the TT's audio out I had to decrease the resistor
that feeds the potentiometer.
