Dentonboy Posted July 16, 2017 Report Share Posted July 16, 2017 Ok, had some comms issues today, annoyingly. Would love some advice. I have a pair of Comtac Peltor XP, a mic, a Z-Tac PTT (powered by a CR123 battery so I assume amplified) and a Motorola 1 pin PMR. Last skirmish, all worked flawlessly, between three of us, for three plus hours. Today, I could hear my teammate everytime but transmissions were sporadically heard when I made them. The radios had new batteries. The PTT had a new battery. I am assuming the PTT is the weak part of the comms link. So what is the ideal PTT I need for my radio/headset/mic please for short range (<1km) airsoft use? Thanks Link to post Share on other sites
Katotaka Posted July 17, 2017 Report Share Posted July 17, 2017 Not sure about Comtac XP, but most of the times the microphones on real deal headsets don't mix well with "civilian" radios (PMR, Talkabout, etc. ) due to impedance issue. If that's the case the hearing end would barely hear what you say unless he maxed out the volume, easy fix is getting a replica Comtac mic from Z-Tac or preferably TRI. I'm also surprised how a Z-Tac PTT worked on a real deal headset, the last time I checked only the ground and speaker (what you hear from) is correct out of 4 pins. Link to post Share on other sites
Dentonboy Posted July 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2017 This headset has a military jack, rather than pins Link to post Share on other sites

Katotaka Posted July 17, 2017 Report Share Posted July 17, 2017 By pins I meant the contact points 1,2,3 and 4 on the TP-120 plug, if we are talking about the same thing. Link to post Share on other sites
Dentonboy Posted July 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2017 Ah, yes. Looks similar. Link to post Share on other sites
