XTS3000 mic adapter

That is the 3.5mm jack version. I see some 2-pin version ones around.


Does a Motorola XTX3000 or XTS5000 still work normal if I leave this attached onto the radio and don't have another device plugged in?
Can I have NO headset plugged in and still use the radio normally without taking this off?
Can I use the PTT button on this and talk into the radio mic without a headset plugged in?

Kenwood didn't fare well for me:

How does Motorola work?

Unless the mic/ ear phone is plugged in it. The radio will work like normal. Once the mic/ speaker is plugged in then it will work as designed. The PTT only works with the headset is in place

You'll also need threaded 3.5 mm devices (earpieces, etc) to work properly.

I think I'm leaning more toward the 2-pin version devices.
I couldn't find a /\/\ version 2-pin adapter for an example.

I don't know if /\/\ makes a 2-pin adapter or if they are only after market.

You could upgrade to a Hirose style headset. While a lot more expensive than the 2 pin or 3.5mm style, the connection is very secure. Like the other adapters, it will allow your radio to function normally if the headset isn't connected.

Only after market, for whatever reason.
