The optocoupler for PTT is connected in a non-inverting way to the RTS line of a USB serial port. Some friendly applications like _fldigi_ lets you configure if you want the PTT to be a logical high or low. Some applications like _WSPR_ and _wsjtx_ don't and then the optocoupler might have to be connected so it inverts the RTS line.
