Ham Radio Headsets & PTT Pedals - Best PTT Pedal For Your Radio

In this video I look at three headsets with microphones for hands free operation. I also explain how to connect these headsets to PTT buttons/pedals and adapters you might need to connect the headset and PTT button to your radio.

Excellent option for the Tattoo Pedal. This should keep the arthritis pain away from my fingers. Thanks for the great video 73

Hi Kyle! Happy new year!! thanks for de vid! I bought de heil cable for mic and ptt (Cc1 XLR 1 b ) and a zoom footswitch.. to set up on my ic7300... but.. the pedal has inverted polarity, so I have to press to not transmit, and release it to transmit.... Do you know how to invert de polarity or a trick to solve that????thanksss 73 LU1APS

[@AA0Z]

Two options. Switch the ring and tip on the TRS connector or open up the pedal and swap the wires.

[@BunkerDx]

@@AA0Z Thanks a lot for your answer!!!! I think I prefer to do the first option... I will do it, and will share the vid !!

I don't see the discriptions. I like the Yamaha. I would think a headset microphone would be great for VOX use. Great video, thank you.

[@AA0Z]
