PTT not working / Boom! v1.18 / 2015 FLHTK
Traded my 2013 FLHTK for the brand new 2015 one and trying to get the intercom Vox / PTT setup. I don't really like using Vox because various noises, wife singing along to radio, etc, cut it on. Have CB off, and lowered Vox all the way as described in the owners manual, but still pushing PTT doesn't open the Mic to start talking like it did on the old HK radios (yes I know the button is on the right side now too). Do you still have to start talking for it to open the Mic even with the PTT pushed? I don't get it, just seem like it's not working at all. Ideas? Going to update to 1.18.1 tonight, maybe that'll help. I'm wondering if the actual PTT button is not working. Any way to confirm that, like does it do any other function I could test?

Thanks for the tips, all good things to check, and I had done them. It seems v1.18.1 resolved the issue I was having and PTT is now working as expected (it actually activates when you press the button!)... so maybe it was a v1.18 issue. Found another bug in v1.18.1 though, it killed Tuner audio when I set my ringtone and the volume would only control a "Ring Tone" volume slider. Seems the fix for that was leaving the bike off long enough to make the radio reboot or something. I see H-D still has a few bugs to work out in the software...
