I'm told that oddball side connector for the HT1000 and Jedi radios in general is properly called an "M3" connector. The one that is the standard "sidesaddle" connector most often used to attach a shoulder speaker/mic with antenna on it.
And at the base of that connector, there's a plug which everyone tells me is a standard 3/8" "mini stereo" earplug, or ear+mic plug. I see all sorts of earmic and "surveillance" earsets being sold for it, and they all appear to have a standard 3/8" RTS (ring-tip-sleeve) min-stereo plug on them.
Except, if I try to plug a standard headset, or earbuds, or earmic into this socket, I get nothing. Which makes me wonder if it isn't a Special Motorola Thing...that they've wired the RTS wires differently from the way the rest of the world has chosen to?
Does anyone know how a Moto M3 connector expects to see this plug wired up? Which wire (earpiece, ground, mic) goes to which contact (ring, tip, sleeve) ? And what they do, what they short out or drop a load across, to signal PTT as well?
I've looked online, but the Do No Evil folks don't seem to have this indexed anywhere, nor does BatLabs.
I'd hate to drop most of a hundred bucks on a special earset, when I've got perfectly good ones that apparently just need a "goeszinta" wired up to make it happy.
