How do I modify a portable Push to Talk switch to work in series with my headset?
When using a standard portable PTT switch, when installed in series with the headset microphone line, there will be no audio present through the intercom until the PTT is pressed. This is because there are two switches inside the PTT switch, One shorts the TIP and the Sleeve which is what keys the radio. The other switch closes to allow the mic audio from the microphone to the ring of the PTT’s mic plug, which will allow the audio to pass to the intercom.. To modify the PTT so that the mic audio is always present, the PTT must be taken apart and the switch that makes and breaks the microphone path will be closed permanently. Due the large variety of PTT, it is not possible for PS Engineering to provide details on how to accomplish this modification. PS Engineering does sell already modified PTT switches, call 865-988-9800 to order.
