i didnt know where else to post it.

What is this terminal called or reffered to as?


Does anyone know if there are adaptors to convert these to a standard two pin radio connector?

Thanks in advance,
Jeff

thanks for the info.

What is the best/easiest way to use headsets with this output to connect to a standard motorola radio with a 2-pin input?

or

or say a Marconi Personal radio?

Just hang around and wait for the knowledgeable types who have adapted their ham radios to work with H-250 handsets, .

Thanks, I subscribed.

Ive been doing research for a a week or so now.

The local army surplus store was tring to hawk off a bunch of headsets because no one is buying them because they can not be used with standard radios.

I figured if i could get them to work with my little arsenal of gmrs/vhf radios id scoop them up suuuppeerr cheap.

once again, any help is really appreciated.

You have to be able to match microphone impedence, voltage, and get the wiring for the Mic/PTT/speaker just right.

On the U229 plugs, here is the normal pin-out:

Mating that to an FRS/GMRS talkabout with out some type of battery-powered matching interface may be difficult, and certainly not off the shelf compatible.

I have a sincgars to 8 pin (Kenwood) adapter I made, although I haven't tested it yet.

Don't worry if it only has 5 pins, tye center is for crypto.

So if I'm working with audio only on a 6 pin, disregard the center one?

Yes 99.9% of the time. Best to all ways use a continuity meter to verify all pins tho

I want to say that is a vehicle adapter. But I wouldn't know to what.

Whats on the other end? If its headphones and a boom mic I would say its a VC setup.

it was connected to a ptt device with a headset input

ETA:

It is a ap-107br break away connector

the wire in is a tp-120

Ok, im trying to decipher the wires after i popped the cap on the PTT device and its driving be nuts.

The headset works, audio in and out, but once i get it connected to the ptt device all i can get to happen is have audio play out of the mic -_________-
