PTT problem with my PGXL

Hello!

I interfaced my 6700 to my PGXL via the A channel and LAN PTT.  It took only 10 minutes. Truly plug and play!
Now my problem. I am trying to interface my Icom IC-7850 to the PGXL. I am using the "B" channel. The PGXL reads the Band and Frequency from the 7850 just fine but doesn't see the analog PTT from the 7850. I have measured the PTT from the reed switch of the 7850 and it is providing a ground.
Thoughts?

    Make sure it's in the PTT for the "b" and the input PTT NOT the output.  Should work

     The layout on the back of the PGXL is somewhat confusing. I triple check it after I make a change.
    Thanks,

    Wayne,
    I checked it a 4th time and you hit it on the head! I was on the output of the PGXL channel B PTT. I moved to the PTT input and it keys now.
    Thanks a lot. I owe you one...

    Happy to help.  I had a lot of trouble hooking my ICOM 7610 to this linear and someone on the community helped me.  Glad it was that simple.  Hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
