Can this be used with amateur (ham) radios, and how is the mic activated? I have a foot switch so it cannot be a pust to talk.

I use mine with an ICOM IC-7200. I have an adapter cable made for a Heil headset that works fine with this radio. The adapter cable has a 1/4" jack for an external push to talk switch, which in my case is usually a sustain pedal for an electronic piano that I got from a music supplier. Since the microphone element is an electret type, I have to use the little battery box that came with the headset. I hope this helps.

Yes you can. The headset comes with a battery box that holds 2 "AAA" batteries that power the mic. One end of this box has a 1/8" phono plug where you connect the headset cord, and the other end has a short wire with a 1/8" phono jack. I cut off this 1/8" jack and wired it to an 8 pin connector for my Kenwood TS-590 radio. I also wired in am 1/4" phono plug to accept either a hand switch or foot switch for PTT.

I use mine with an Elecraft K3 - plugs directly into jacks on the back of the radio - no adapters needed. Works great. I understand that it also works great with the Elecraft KX3, but I have not tried it with mine - yet. :-) Cheers, W6JHB / KF6ZNT

YES. I use mine with both of my Icom radios (with adapter) and it works great. Very comfortable for long QSOs or contests and I get a lot excellent audio reports. I use a homemade handheld button PTT, but any switch foot or hand will work.

I have been using mine with my Icom 746 Pro,along with a $10.00 foot switch from Ebay,the only problem I have ever had was that there would be a random whine on 20 meters ,all the other bands are ok,over all,this is a great item.K1DOA

I use this Yamaha CM500 on an ICOM IC-756 Pro III without an adapter of any sort. I also use the Yamaha CM-500with the LogiKlipper RF Speech Processer (LK-1). Usually in the manual of your transceiver, there is a section which explains how to adapt different types of microphones to your transceiver. Usually you can wire up the make the main accessory jack to be a "push to talk switch" for your microphone. 73 de Michael

This is not a USB mic. You can use the PAD button on your amplifier, or lower the volume. Most amplifiers nowadays also have a STANDBY button that mutes all inputs except music from RCA or 1/4 inputs designed for that purpose. You do not want to plug or unplug the mic while connected to the amp while it's on. It'll make loud pop noises, and that's the least of it.

Hi wanted to know if this equipment is for use in a radio station? would be used only for voice output

I don't really know because I use it on mono from my tv and talk radio A.M.broadcastings to my sangean pocket radio. Sorry I could not help you with this.

Yes this is used an FM receiver/transmitter for my son's hearing aid. His teacher wears the appropriate mic around his/her neck to transmit to receiver. My wife knows more about it then I do.

There is no mic, so once it rings you almost have to pick it up. It might be possible to modify a set of ear buds with a mic by replacing the ear buds with a headphone jack and use the aux port. I might just try that myself.

I am sorry. I can't answer the question. The mic did not work for the application (off label) I tried, so I do not know how it will work.

You will need a 1/4 to 1/8 adapter though. I suggest getting a self-powered mic still. this signal may be weak.

Yes, you can but will be not easy and parts can break, but really you do not need it, the mic works great on ham radio equipment, maybe your problem need to be traced and find the problem or the defective part, I use the headset direct with no need of the bias power or the need of the battery box, one of my radios is a direct feed and the other I got and custom made adapter

I'd be careful about answering whether it works "well" with any radio. My experience using it with a Midland GTX5000 was that it did work but 'd rate it as marginal. Receiving volume is not as loud as it should be regardless of where the radio volume control is set. If there is background noise it is hard to hear - just my opinion. I have used other radios with hand mics and have had excellent reception. This remote mic may be very specific to the radio it works best with. I can't say which radio that is. I would not buy one again without knowing which radio it is designed for. All 2 pin hand mics are not equal. I'd be careful about answering whether it works "well" with any radio.

Many mics of this type don't have an on/off switch. You're meant to control the mics from the mixer.

Ok. I'm probably going to sound silly but, did you plug it into the Aux. Also there is an on and off switch on the mic.. other than that, I don't know. Ours worked fine. It might be a bad one.

There is a mic and it doesn't work really well with hearing though I can say that after using it for chat on Skype, Yahoo, Gmail, and on my mobile phone... That the quality of my voice is not very good. No matter how I hold the mic up to my mouth in any angle that I can, it doesn't change the quality besides being louder when my mouth is closer. The mic is attached to the wire, it isn't attached to the headpiece itself. As for listening quality though, it is worth it and has an amazing noise-reduction.

If it has the standard two prong plug in on the side of the radio to accomidate mic and earphone lead. Then yes it should work. I use it for a Midland two way radio that my friend has when we ride atv's. It works well and has best as I can tell most small hand held radios use the same type/style plug in configureration.

These are very low end systems. My first suggestion would be to purchase a better system in the first place. Your Hand Held Mic Transmitter would have to be set to the same frequency as one of the reciever channels to use it on the same system as the wireless mics it comes with. There would be no way to plug it into the belt transmitter pack without a wire. I'm not clear if your question is will the mic work on this system or if Audio 2000 makes a seperate hh mic you can use next to this system on it's own frequency and reciever without creating interference. (I believe they do and it is available on Amazon. It should work fine in the latter) These are very low end systems. My first suggestion would be to purchase a better system in the first place.

This headset works well with my Ham radio. It is not physically adaptable for cell phones. I suggest that ear buds for improved hearing would be better for the application. Use the phone for audio input which it is designed for.
