Audio adapter BDN6676
I just got a Motorola audio accessory adapter (BDN6676) for earphones,
headphones, etc.
I tried a regular mono ear bud with a 1/8 inch mono plug, and it fits, but
it doesn't work. It causes the radio (HT 1000) to be keyed up constantly. Do I need to use a genuine Motorola ear phone for proper operation?
headphones, etc.

re: pluggin' along...
Try a "stereo" plug instead. It will be divided in at least 3, and may not key the radio.

It too should key the radio. There is a capacitor that needs installed in parallel with the mic side of the circuit. Shorting out the capacitor sends a PTT signal to the radio through the side connector.
I have a diagram that someone on the board assisted me with to create a similar setup for a non-motorola headphone. I can email it to you if you like. I'd post it to my web server but it's not cooperating lately.

re: all plugged up....
Dang, well the only other option is that the plug will only work with a 4-split phono (for a headset/speaker/mic set) Like the plug on a Yaesu FT-50 speaker mic..... You need a different adapter or a headset/mic of some type with the 4-contact phono plug.

The BDN6676D adapter requires a 3.5mm THREADED plug. I suspect you will need to get this from Motorola if you want everything to work properly. Since you laid out the $52.50 for this Motorola custom accessories adapter, why not spring for one of the compatable Motorola earpieces? The little earphone "speaker" w/ the ear foam cushion is BDN6719A @ $35. The regular earpiece is the BDN6781A @ $27. We use 'em both, and it's a matter of personal choice as to which one you might prefer. With the threaded plugs, these stay in place.
We also use the Motorola active noise reduction (ANR) headset with our XTS3000's, which connects to the same BDN6676 jack that you refer to. This ANR headset is the model RMN4052, w/ RKN4095 remote PTT switch. This setup works great around the flight line where it is really noisy.

This should be the diagram I was talking about.
I see the photo fine. Here's the link: http://my.core.com/2F/06/bubbasnest/pictures/Jedi.BMP
