Here is a 3 transistors 6 diodes circuit that is a Voice Operated Tx PTT
control as well as an ANTI VOX circuit to stop mis-operation from Rx noise.

All diodes are 1N4148 or Germanium point contact type.
HOW IT WORKS
The BC109 Mic high gain amp is RF protected by the Ferrite Bead on the base
lead. Its' low level output is voltage doubled with Germanium diodes D2 & D3
into double time constants Caps to give fast attach & slow decay time
responces. The rectified DC is referenced from the +ve rail less the voltage
drop of Silicon diode D1 together with the germanium detector diodes, this
makes the Mic Audio detector very sensitive! The voltage is put across the 220K
VOX gain pot, & the hang time determined by the 220K decay variable control
that discharges the capacitors.
The gain controlled sample of the DC switches on the PNP which turns on the NPN
PTT drive transistor, that is protected from rig relay back EMF by D6. The 10M
from the PNP base to NPN collector, gives positive feedback hysteresis if
needed (SCHMITT) for snap on-off action.
High level LS audio is also voltage doubled with Silicon diodes D4 & 5 to give
DC that feeds the ANTI VOX control, this DC is used on the emitter of the PNP
to stop the PTT operating from loud RX LS audio that may be heard by the mic.
