Cessna 120-140 Association

Where is your PTT button located? Photos?

I have used a Telex PTT that plugs in series with the headphone mic for years but am considering an installed push button on the new radio install.

I put one in the plastic hub of the pretzel yoke for a friend once. Sorry, no pictures...

Send your email to colorfastinc@sbcglobal.net and i'll send some photos

I put mine just to the right of the throttle. I can push it with my hand on the throttle. Been that way for years..

I recently flew a friend's 140 with a momentary PTT toggle left of throttle (similar to Randy) -- surprised at how easy & natural it was to use with hand on the throttle (where it usually is?). Mac

Simple solution. Works well for me.

Will tidy this up a bit when the airplane gets its new interior, but for now it works well.

Mine are on the yoke, as above. But they were that way when I bought the plane. If I were to do it myself I would put it on the panel somewhere. Simple, no wires in cockpit. I used to rent a 150 that had that arrangement and adjusted to it quickly. KISS.

Mac & Randy,

can you post pictures of your ptt? I'd like to get a visual on it.

Mine is similar to this except flat metal screwed to back of yoke not wrapped around.
