Wiring help!!!

[MeanGreen7]

I have a motorola Saber 1E. It has a headset with PTT mic connector on the back. I want to take the wire from that connector and convert the end into a 3.5mm female jack to plug other headsets i have into it. The wire has 5 wires from it. Green, Blue Copper, Red w/clear insulation, Red With white wire stripes. The 3.5mm stereo jack I have has only 3 pins, pin 1, pin 2 and pin 3 which i know is the ground (I think).

Any help would be great.

The saber uses a resistor to select which accessory is connected to it, so as long as you use the wires WITH the connector, you should be able to bring it out, but as far as the pinout , I can't help you...

you'll need a 3.5mm AND 2.5mm jack, one for the mic, one for the earpiece...

Here is a picture of the Saber connector.

HEre is the picture of the wires from that Saber connector.

Picture of the wires connected to the former PTT clip mic.

Trying to figure the wiring out on the 3.5mm Female TRS jack (not picured here) to fit the 2.5mm TRS "T" Jack.

The "T" jack goes into radio and the wire comming out of the top goes to a PTT button and the wire plugged in on the bottom goes to the ear piece with boom mic. (which i would rather use then the clip on PTT button mic. Because if I need to whisper in the field then I have to talk into the mic which means more movement of hand and my head rather then just my hand. Hope that makes sense.

I understand about what you said on the needing 2 3.5mm female jacks. Can i still use 2 and then get them to convert into 1 for the "T" jack. If I can just get the wiring down I will have it made.
