Headset and walk talk.

arleitiss

Hey, I just got a bowman headset, it has 2 small black lines on jack.
And my walkie talkie is Binatone Terrain 750, when I plug it in it doesn't work really. The sound goes muted on walkie talkie and I can't hear anything in earphone unless I press and hold the button for PTT on headset itself. So what the crap? how do I activate it?

binatone's are very selective of the headsets they allow if its a single pin.

Buy a set of cobra radio's in maplins for about 30E it will work with that and they are great radio's

Xbox headsets work with my Binatones...No PTT though you can get earpieces for Binas on ebay with PTT Buttons

This guy on ebay is fairly priced and has headsets to suit most radios.

If he doesn't have yours listed, send him a message or ring the shop.
He is very helpful:).

Binatone radios use a 2.5mm single pin I believe (I use the binatone action 950 myself, great radio), so that's what you need in a headset. Look for a single pin headset and find out if it's 2.5mm.

To put that into perspective, headphones from an mp3,cd player,etc. are 3.5mm so it'll have to be thinner than that.

As ronan keane said, xbox headsets work as they are single 2.5mm pin connections. Even throat mics work (I use a throat mic that I got cheap and it works for me), but a lot of people have difficulty with them as they need to be positioned correctly and you should use them with VOX on on the radio as they'll start transmitting if you're too noisy.

You can pick up xbox headsets for less than €10 on ebay
