The headset can come apart so you can Velcro the earpiece and the mic to the inside of the helmet, and it can be set for Vox operation, or PTT with a very nice remote PTT button designed to be mounted on handlebars. Something along those lines is what you want ... take a look at motorcycle shops and catalogs, they'll have something. C.Q.C. |

Any suggestions? > thanks, > Lynn A good time to ask the question, as the BMHA (Bicycle Mobile Hams of America) has just finished indexing our newsletter back-issues. There is not a lot on helmet-mounted microphones, but there is some interesting information (search the newsletter index by the topics "Gear" or "Product Review", some under "Letters"). My own personal choice is an in-the-ear microphone/speaker combination (yes, there is nothing in front of my mouth). The BMHA website is at [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] and you should easily be able to navigate to the subject index of backissues. The site is geared toward bicycling ham-radio operators (which requires an FCC license), but much of the microphone/antenna technology can be adapted to FRS, Citizen's Band, or other unlicensed radio services. - Skip AA6WK [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] |
