Re: Handheld Mic w/ PTT for BITX40
|
A very long time ago, as a repeater user, I had a bell systems Trimline handset, and with very minor additions to the old HeahKit HW202 2 meter rig, it (the Trimline) worked as a mic, with DTMF pad.? If I remember right, I put a small pushbutton in the side, and the rest of the handset was unaffected- and I put 12V on the mic line.? It worked really well.
My point being that the telephone handset may be a nice speaker/mic.? It would benefit from the electret, but the speaker element probably would be very well suited.? And a PTT switch might be possible if ground are common- leaving one conductor open.
The RJ11 jack would need to be salvaged from the base

Jack, I hadn't even considered the weight issue- thanks for bringing it up. I think a 4 conductor telephone cord will solve the problem and I'll just make a nicer looking handheld mic. I'll post what I come up with eventually. I'm still working on the case, too. Thanks again!
