Bluetooth headsets...

[G7RUX]

Afternoon all!

Does anyone happen to know which key equivalent the PTT on Icom/Yaesu BT headsets use please? I have a BT computer headset and I was hoping to work out which button I might be able to use as the PTT, if at all possible.

Many thanks in advance!

Your best option is to contact the radio manufacture to get your answer as to what they support.

Indeed, although they aren't terribly helpful in this regard and mainly direct one towards their own bluetooth kit. :-(

They could direct you toward their kit that they know works *OR* they could waste a lot of customer support time trying to make something work that they know nothing about.

The number of comments I see online from people trying, and failing, to make 3rd party Bluetooth devices work with various radios makes me think it's not worth the effort.

Anecdotal evidence suggests that Yaeus's implementation of Bluetooth isn't friendly with equipment other than their own and sometimes that doesn't even work smoothly.
