thanks for all replies, prompted by John's mail below I took a look at miklor and they have a nice diagram showing how to wire the mic for the dual ptt and how to select top or bottom band

There's a dual PTT Spkr/Micr available from BaofengTech. http://baofengtech.com http://baofengtech.com/ The side button selects the channel in display B, while the top button select display A. The standard Baofeng Sp/Mk always selects display B

Dave, My mike also behaves this way. I've heard there's a new mic that allows you to use both bands. Denis KC6AUP

Hi
I have several Baofeng radios, most recently added a UV82 (which has a dual PTT button on the radio)
On the others when the lapel/speaker mic is connected and the mic PTT is keyed the radio transmits on the currently selected channel either top or bottom.
On the UV82 (lapel/speaker mic is not a dual PTT) it *always* seems to transmit on the bottom channel.
I've trawled the menus and settings but cant see anything that might control this behaviour.
If anyone knows how to change this I'd be very grateful.
Thank you
Dave
