Just to confirm, you simply need to short the RCA socket on the eliminator to trigger the bypass relay/s. In other words, switch it to ground. Reason I ask is that mine is not working. I am using it with a CB radio, so I had to make up an on delay relay switching box. Even if I short the PTT socket manually, no joy.

Hi Adam. I have the same set-up you do with the 7300, MFJ Versa Tuner II, and the MJF Artificial Ground, and the WiMo - thought i was looking at my station at first and was wondering how you got into my apt!!! So far, the WiMo has been most efficacious with the proper antenna. It took a long time to find the right antenna as my neighbor as well has a TV that is noisy. He is a licensed Ham but has a plasma TV, if you can believe that... you can see what his priorities are. Anyhow, I've gotten rid of most of that horrible "motorboat" noise using an active antenna (mini-whip) which seems to have done the trick for the most part. I'm using an 8-band Cobb Webb antenna as the main and also have a sloper as a second antenna that covers 75 & 40 meters. It is good that you show folks how to hook up the PTT bypass. I did that too and beats having to shut down the WiMo every time I TX (I did that number for a while until I got the jumper off of e-Bay). Take care and good job on the vid. Hope to hear you on-air sometime as the bands get better, as it sounds like your in England! 73! K7GYB

@@adam-g7crq OK, great, Adam... looking forward to that and I'll sub. with the bell notification so I'll get a heads-up when you post! Also, a quick question. Do you have your main antenna going into the WiMo first or to your tuner? I have mine going into my tuner direct and then to the WiMo... is that correct? That is the way I've been running it but I wonder if the other way would be better or even work like that? Thanks a bunch, and 73!

@@davidvaughn7752 I don't know David I have my Wimo in between the ATU and radio, I don't think it makes much difference, when I've got time I'll wire it so the antenna is feed straight into the Wimo, I have some other friends that use null steerers I'll ask them the same question

Thanks so much for this. I expect I nearly fried my radio and/or the WiMo trying to figure this out. The directions are TERRIBLE on what to do with your PTT. I guess you have to make incredibly vague instructions or make them for every radio. Ah well, still a great piece of gear. Thanks again!

It'll work on any HF radio, you'll have to consult your manual to find where your PTT line out is for your radio, try typing PTT keying cable for your radio in Google, it'll need a RCA male plug to work with the wimo.

Hi Brian, it does come with a lead but you'll have to fit one of the RCA jack's to it, I had one already so I just used that lead, you can buy them ready made of Amazon or eBay there very cheap, at the moment I'm just using a desk top active antenna, when I have time I'll plug something more substantial into it
