I'm interested in putting together a PTT handset(like are used with some military field radios). For discussions sake, we'll say I want to use it with my Vertex VX-2200. The VX-2200 uses an 8-pin modular plug identical to that of the FT-450.
My initial thought here is to just use a PTT handset for a different radio and attempt to add the correct connector to fit my radio, but I'm not sure if that's possible. I know there would need to be audio coming out of the modular jack, but I'm not certain if there is. I DO know that I use the modular jack to program the radio(via a computer), does that mean I have audio going both ways through that jack?
Are there any other reasons why this wouldn't work?
Here's one of the handset's I'm talking about, in case anyone doesn't understand.
