Is there any way to key the radio besides mox i know the spacebar will after you select mox first but if you click anything else the spacebar no longer works. i would really like to key with an external device via usb.

There's a jack in the back, I plug in my foot switch.

Frstack adds hotkey support; eg assign F1 to MOX for PTT. There’s also SmartCAT interface. Create a new SmartCAT port configured for PTT and configure.

Correct!  I forgot at using FRSTACK.  There many ways to do it.

Bret is correct.  That is what I do at times.  I have a foot switch with a DB9 on it that plugs into an RS232/USB adapter that is connected to my laptop.  The foot switch grounds DTR and that sends the PTT signal to the radio.  

It works very well, and I wrote it up in detail about a year ago here in the community.
