Hi There:
I am using a Baofeng UV 5R . It has an external mic, but the mic sounds awful. I would like tomrig it up so that I can connect the unit ti my mixer. My goal is to send the audio through my mixer and out through my speakers, and to use a ordinary SM58 mic that will transmit through my mixer and into the unit.
I have achieved the first part. I was able to get the audio to stream to my mixer and out to my speakers.
Hooking up the mic is giving me problems. There is a three ring 1/8 stereo male jack that goes to the mic female input jack on the unit. . I do not know how to rig the push to talk feature of a mic. Does it simply involve inserting an inline on/off switch with one of the wires that goes into the female the mic input jack on the unit., that is normally closed?
In other words, there are two wires that go out of the mixer, that carry the audio from the mic. Do I out an inline switch on one of those lines, or is there another way to create a push to talk?
Thank-you
