For PA with RF/DC sense switching (as some rigs put out DC on Tx), that used a
diode to detect any +ve signals (RF/DC) from the transceiver to operate the PA
PTT system....
The time constants are ok for SSB & FM, but 22uF can be omitted for FM only.
TR1 & 2 BC107 etc, TR3 a TIP type PNP, D1 RF diode 1N4148 etc. D2 1N4001.

HOW IT WORKS
D1 detects RF & passes any DC to turn on TR1. TR1 turning on charges up the
22uF & makes TR3 initially conduct to give fast Tx attack. When 22uF is over
2V TR2 is turned on & passes higher base current into TR3 via a Tx LED ensuring
it is well turned on. The 150k +ve feedback ensure snap action (too low & it
may not switch off!)
External PTT earth can be put in/out on TR2 collector.
I have found it was heat sensitive, due to the sensitivity of the 1st NPN.
Why Don't U send an interesting bul?
