One output channel from my mixer is connected to a custom-built mic switch, which allows me to use my PR-781G microphone across multiple radios in the shack, including the ANAN-G2, IC-9700, NX-5700, and NX-5800. The switch supports up to six radios and features inputs for a PTT footswitch and a handheld PTT button. I also built custom cables to connect the mic switch to each radio for seamless operation.
