Any King radio experts on this list?

  

 My KX-165 radio seems to be transmitting and receiving Ok.  However, the transmit light never seems to fully go off. When I push the PTT  button the "T" light gets brighter, but then simply dims during receiving. It is  not a stuck mike switch or I wouldn't be able to receive. I've cleaned the  radio's edge connector and I've removed the intercom from the circuit. No  effect. I have not yet been able to power up the radio independently to see if  the light still stays on.

  

 I have 2 PTT buttons in parrallel and they are simple SPDT to  make/break the mic key line. Could it be that the KX165 needs to have both the  mic audio and key lines switched with a DPDT? Could a missing ground on the  braid to these wires have this effect on the transmit light?

  

 Thanks for your thoughts,

 Jose
