but im not sure if it'll work since i dont have one to try in it, DOC got a throat mic for his one that constantly broadcasts when ya plug it in so id like to get something thats compatable and not have to rewire it.,

weeder

that happened to me with the xbox headset, gerrout reckons there talkabout compatible, think ya specifically need one with a PTT button for it

TheDoc

must actually get around to re-wiring that, cause its a nice piece

Masada

its not that hard to do., id just rather have something outta the box.,

weeder

is it when you have enamel coated wires that solder refuses to stick to even after melting the enamel away

Masada

you have to use a lighter on it, get rid of the coating, then heat the wire aswell as the solder.,

I don't suppose anyone knows if the Motorola Talkabout pin is the same as the Cobra single pin?

No need to rewire it Richie. Just buy the approriate male/female connectors and some cable and solder up your own adapter. Easy peasy once u figure out the poles.

Do you wear a sling which goes around the neck? I was about to buy one of these (NT2) but thought it might be a problem with an Aug sling which goes around the neck (rather than neck & shoulder).

vtec - just to let you know, I have the TASC style. I can't say whether it works with the Lidl radios or not, but the sound quality both sending and receiving is very good.

However, the problem I have with the TASC style is that the ear piece is rubbery and solid. It gets VERY uncomfortable if you have it on for an extended period of time due to a mixture of the heat it traps on your ear and the size of the ear piece (it's edges tend to cut in a bit).

If I'd buy another, I would go with the Bowman style this time around.

Just thought I'd let ya know.

dude take a look at here http://www.gadgetinfinity.com/home.php?cat=77 got the throat mic delivered in about 8 days maybe less for less than 30 euro and it has a list of what radios use what pins and u select ur pin when ordering

I just bought one of the following; not cheap but I like the big PTT button, easier to find quickly and use with gloves.

I'm having a horrid time rewiring the throat mic I got, so if anyone can give me some info would be appreciated.

I'm a spa when it comes to wires and plugs.

What plug do i need to get etc. I'd love if someone had some solid information in fairness
