I found the Yaseu essentially unusable until I got a PTT, from
Sporty's. It velcro's onto the top of the control stick, just like
Captain Midnight!

Might be a bear, though, setting this up while you have an electrical
emergency tothink about. Me, I do it on the ground before getting into
the plane, since the radio is my only comm.

I use the rubber ducky antenna. These are rental planes, and neither
has an outside antenna. I seldom use delta airspace, however. And I
always behave as if I were NORDO. I am reasonably sure however that I
am always heard in the pattern, not so sure that I am heard five or
even three miles out. As for hearing, I can hear Wiscasset in the
north and Marshfield on the south, a radius of 50 NM, from 2900 feet.
