3.5mm adapter for APX/TRBO?

Post by escomm »

Anyone aware of any aftermarket vendors that make a side adapter for these radios with a 3.5mm jack? Prefer being able to TX and RX through the adapter. Motorola has nothing for these except with hirose connectors, unfortunately that doesn't work so great with 3.5mm headsets.

Also, on a side note, anyone aware of anyone who builds an adapter for a CP200 that goes to an IMSA female socket? Have a buddy that does racing with an old IMSA headset and wants to use it for his racing, evidently everybody wants to use these 5 pin hirose looking things nowadays and he really likes his old headset.

TIA!

Does the IMSA plug look like this? If so, I've got a spare adapter for a Jedi radio. Here's a NATO plug to Motorola 2-pin: http://www.ebay.com/itm/EMERSON-TEA-Hea ... 1369wt_905

Hmm, it looks close but that NATO plug seems to have another conductor? This is the IMSA plug:
