Ideas for a yoke mounted Push to Talk

Post by b17pilot20 »

We are doing a re-furbish on our new to us airplane. Does anybody have a good idea or picture of a yoke mounted PPT switch? Unfortunately, our new nav/com is mounted under the yoke push/pull knob, and a curly cord may interfere with the view of the radio. Any ideas are welcome!

Great advice: Don't drill your original yoke!

If it's a refurbish, can you move the radio? I used a Velcro mounted PTT. Not elegant, but works. I agree with gahorn, don't drill the yoke.
