Default RA grip wiring help

I brought my Ray Allen 207 stick grip to work with me to kill some time. This has the the 4 trim switches, the PTT switch and two additional push button switches.

The add'l push button switches are going to be used as AP disconnect and 430 comm flip/flop.

The instructions do not have any instructions for the additional switches. There are 3 poles on the switches. I did not bring my volt meter/continuity checker with me.

How do I wire these additional switches to accomplish my goal?

I'm using wiring style one on the ray allen website. www.rayallencompany.com

HELP!!!

fyi, I set mine up exactly the same. I ended up having to disable the 430 flip/flop switch as it was never used for its intended purpose and was very often accidentally hit. Sorry, can't help you with the wiring specifics right now.

Darwin, with three solder tabs per switch you can bet they're NC, NO and common. The AP disconnect lead and the 430 flip-flop are each wired to a Normally Open tab. Wire both commons to ground.
