     The first part that I must clarify is that you mention that I have 
DISABLED THE PTT (/You disable PTT/) is not applicable, as I do not and 
have not checked the "Disable PTT" box in the PSDR settings.   You have 
assumed that I have disabled the PTT by the check-box for this feature 
in SETTINGS.

     The second part that I feel is not correct is your statement, 
"...even though PTT is disabled in the check box"  Again, at NO TIME, is 
the "Disable PTT" box checked.  If I check this box, _*then*_ the PTT is 
indeed disabled.

_If I had checked this box_, I would never be able to achieve the PTT 
function.  This is not the case.  I am _always_ able to achieve the PTT 
function; -The problem is, sometimes, when I press my PTT button on my 
mic and speak into the mic, the radio goes to TRANSMIT MODE, but the 
radio will not output RF power.  I can resolve this, if I release the 
PTT then press the PTT again: All is OK and normal, as I then have RF 
power being generated when I speak.

     First of all, my strange PTT behavior is as follows:

At ALL TIMES, if I press the PTT button on my mic, the RADIO GOES TO 
TRANSMIT MODE.
The function _NEVER FAILS_.  It always switches the ANAN-100 from RX 
mode to TX mode.
(I can tell this, as the receiver _mutes_, and the TX METER at the 
upper-right portion of the PSDR application shows me the mic level as 
being normal, and so on.)

ALL indications are OK and correct. _*EXCEPT*_ for the fact that I have 
no RF power, when I speak, but this is only one time out of a possible 
ten PTT sessions.

As a further example of the fact that the PTT function is OK and 
_*ALWAYS WORKS*_, if I have the MON enabled, I can hear myself speak if 
I continue to press the PTT button.  As soon as I release the PTT 
button, the TX function is stopped, and I can again hear the receiver's 
audio, and so on.

The only difference is that at times, even though all of the functions 
that I have described above are OK and look normal, I simply do not have 
any RF power out of the radio.

     I have done your experiment above; I disabled the PTT (in the 
Settings/General/Options.  At that time, I _cannot go to transmit 
mode_.  (we would expect this.)  When I UN-check the "Disable PTT" 
button,  am again able to achieve PTT function.  But at times, even this 
is the case, I still do not have any RF power.  I can resolve this 
sometimes fault by releasing, then pressing the PTT again.
