Want a y adaptor ,if possible

[Sportster77]

Is it possible to get a "Y" that has 2 1/8" male mon plugs to feed fro to seperate hanhhelds and feed into a single stereo headphone? So that scanner 1 is in my left ear and scanner 2 is in my right. Or is this not possible due to the (possible) differences on the common ground side of the radios.

yes, check rad shack.

Yes the shak has an adapter,or the parts to make one, but my bigger worry is blowing up my new PSR800 if the commons on it and my BC395 don't agree.

99.9% of all radios and scanners use the same wiring schime. center is + out side is ground.

If you make your own adaptor, then you can also add a smal blocking cap in line with both sides to give you piece of mind.

I have several radios and scanners that I quite offen 'patch' together thru one headset and have never had to put in cap's or had any problems with hearing what was going on on either device.

If you make your own, then do it this way: stero plug on one end for the headset, center of one mono cable to tip of plug, center of another mono cable to the ring side of plug, combine the two grounds and connect to the ground side of the headset plug.

Now you have a 'split' cable that feeds single audio from radio 1 to one side and radio 2 to the other.

Picked up the Shak's airline headphone adapter today and it seems to work fine.
