The stumbling block so far has been finding/making suitable PTT headsets. And they don't do VOX. |

Moshe these work well and are robust http://www.pryme.com/index.php?l=product_detail&p=2231 Just have to make sure you have the right plug. I have a set I can bring to the airport if you want to play with them.

The stumbling block so far has been finding/making suitable PTT headsets. And they don't do VOX. Interestingly, the US Hang Gliding and Parachuting organisation has got themselves five chat frequencies assigned in the "Business" band! 151.625 MHz, 151.955 MHz, 151.505 MHz, 158.400 MHz, and 151.925 MHz That's out of the range of airband radios. |
