[PSUBS-MAILIST] OTS comms headset.

[Alec Smyth via Personal_Submersibles]

Hi Jon,

The SSB2010 actually requires some circuitry to connect an ordinary headset and mic. Nothing too complicated, but I had to put together a little board with a few resistors and capacitors. One of my adapters has stopped working, I think because of the OTS cable failing with age. It’s one of my winter projects to redo it, so I’ll be sure to document the adapter.

Best,
Alec

Nyutco modified his headset to use two boom mics, one for VHF the other for UWC.  I don't remember how we switched between the two transceivers though.  Maybe someone else does.
