Greetings everybody!
I am here today after having much trouble with a newly acquired piece of gear.
You see, I had a ton of old headsets that utilized the old Motorola 2-pin layout and wished to use it on my Icom F60.
After some simple searching on Google, I came across this interesting piece of kit:
ICOM F30/F40 Side Connector to 2 prong Motorola plug Adapter
The only issue is that upon receiving said item, it doesn't work!
I haven't taken the adapter apart yet, but looking at the pin interface, it seems to utilize the following pins on the Icom radio:
1 Audio Frequency Out
3 Option Detect
4 Common Ground
8 Mic Audio
Icom page 65.
Not with the adapter plugged in, I am able to receive transmissions, but unable to send (Headset PTT and Radio PTT yields no function via headset) However, the radio continues to transmit through the radio's microphone if I hold down the radio's PTT.
Essentially, with the adapter in use, it seems that the only use I am able to get out of my 2-pin headset is nothing more than a fancy audio out ear piece.
Any ideas or suggestions?
Thanks!
