When PTT is "pushed" by WT the TRX doesn´t switch the display from "S" 
to "PWR". The effect is like PTT is not pressed (no HF transmitted) BUT 
the ON AIR-LED is lit! LCU-Key uses PIN 16 for PTT and 17 for CW.

Yes, I ment CW PTT ON delay. For testing I set it to 1000mS to see what 
happens. But the value is not the problem.

The adress is ok. If it is not ok nothing would happen.
