Is this possible ? GP300 Accessory (throat mic) on a GM338

I am doing a sport event shortly and the requirement is for stable comms on a motor bike.
I have used throat mics before on a portable, but now they want to use a mobile radio in the panier bag with an external antenna.

Is it possible to wire up a throat mic designed for a GP300 (ie the 2 prong plug) to connect to the 16 pin accessories connector or a combination of that and the front RJ45 mic socket ?

I have had a quick glance at the Gp300 speaker mic schematic on batlabs and it shows the PTT appears to be triggered just by completely the MIC + into the circuit. Obviously on a GM338 I need a seperate PTT line shorted to ground to get it to transmit.

My throat mics have an inline PTT switch.

Any help appreciated

Thanks in advance
Mike

Sorry to bump this but I am now getting desperate
I spoke to a local MSS today and they have quoted me $450 each to do

Surely it cannot be that hard ???

It,s the gp300 ptt thing that throws me because the audio and the ptt go to a 2 pin 3.5mm plug

help me please some kind person :-)

Thanks in advance

Mike,

I sent you a diagram for an adapter to use GP300 two prong headset on a GM mobile radio. It has the PTT circuit.
