Can't seem to find this info online (in the list archives or elsewhere)...



I just got an Icom A24 radio (yup, went for the one with VOR after all).  I 

also have a Comtronics helmet that I won in a raffle a couple of years 

ago.  Anyway:  The Icom comes with a headset adapter, which has 3 plugs 

(one for earphones, one for mike, and one for PTT, standard GA I 

guess).  The Comtronics has a single 3 conductor plug.  Now, it's a trivial 

matter to make a patch cable to connect them together, or Comtronics sells 

an interface cable with PTT for $99, which is ridiculous if it's just a 

couple of plugs, a switch, and some wire.  If there's an amplifier or some 

such as well to interface the Comtronics mike with the Icom radio it makes 

more sense to pay the price.  Comtronics was vague when I asked a similar 

question some time ago, possibly because they'd rather sell the $99 cable...



Anybody know?

Okay, who put a "stop payment" on my reality check?

                    Dana, I just purchased the interface cable from I-com for my IC-A5.  There does not seem to be any amp involved, But it plugs straight into my radio without the I-com adapter. Hope this helps.
