These notes describe the steps I went through to interface a Bluetooth adaptor to my ham broadcasting transceivers in decree to use a telecom Bluetooth telephone receiver with the rigs. Indeed, my loved way of operating on HF is to use a VOX-controlled telephone receiver with boom mike. When I acquired a FT-897 transceiver, one of the eldest happening I did was to influence a Labtec LVA-8420 telephone receiver and adapter from W2ENY. This apparatus served me well – I systematically got excellent audio reports – but I was still tethered to the rig and so could not conclusion about my hamshack, and the cord, which was rather stiff, unbroken effort in my way.
Typical boom-mic headsets currently being sold-out in the aftermarket for nonprofessional radio set are based on low-budget (sub $8 per unit in volume) boom-mic headsets oversubscribed for PC applications. Then an adapter overseas telegram assembly is added for specific radios, an adpater that typically ends up supporting off the anterior of your radio. Since most PC sound cards expect an Electret electrical condenser mic this works OK for doomed radios like handhelds, about VHF/UHF mobile radios and straight Icom HF radios.
Hams are always looking for for a cheaper solution to good microphone audio. With all the vice and cell phone headsets we very have quite a few choices beside exploitation the mic that came with the radio. Many headsets use a deuce-ace ring 3.5 mm plug for the mike and in the terminal few life more and more headsets are using the 4 ring 3.5 mm audio plug.
