[aprssig] Mic-E and HTs

[Wes Johnston]

Ahhh.... but perhaps Scott is talking bout the tiny track _sensing_ the
mic line.  First it has to sense what the status of PTT is so that it
can know when you release PTT so it can inject the packet.

Wouldn't this be an integrating op amp?  Just bypass any frequency above
 100hz, right?
