In article <1992Aug27.102217.8682@stc.nato.int> you write: >Does anyone know where I can find a supplier for jack plugs and >sockets for the microphone/push-to-talk of "standard" aircraft headsets? >(By "standard", this includes David Clark headsets, at least!) Greetings. I've been there... I've looked and called all magazines & outlets and NONE have these. I ended up buying "push-to-talk" conversion kits and splicing in... not pretty but if done right (heat-shrink tubing, solder, strain-relief) it will work (as has my friend's which I made in '90 and sees about 4 hours/day use :-) If you DO find a source, I would be grateful if you could pass the info down - I don't feel like spending $39 per "kit" (that's plug, socket, & switch that mounts on the yoke). I've lately seen a few "mic cable extention" cables for (cheapest $14.95) - if you don't get better info this is the way to go. The sockets are the in-line type so I had to make a box for an array of 8 of them and then pot the box with epoxy (kinda permanent) so that they would stay in place. Works like a charm but I'd love a more "professional" construction :-) Take care. -- ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ _______________________karol@unix.cis.pitt.edu__________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________
