Ok the radio's I have that need or could use a nice mic are diode switched. The ones that are fine as is are relay switched. Go figure.
I was thinking about taking a PTT switch from a non-working mic and useing it to convert harp/early broadcast mic to CB use. I know I need the two auid line and I need tx and rx. A ready made ptt switch out of an old non-working mic seems like an easy solution then I just need to add the two extra wires one for tx and one for rx.
Problem is the PTT switch's in most mic's are terrible cheaply made all plastic housings and such. Non of the ready made Ham PTT's will do me any good since they plug into the radio like a phono jack and and they are not wire set-ups either.
Anyone know where I could get a really robust ptt switch already set-up for modern 4 wire standard? I can not see making one from scratch or re-inventing the wheel if their is something already on the market that will allow me to have a nice clean install and good reliability and durability. It would be fantastic if it was mostly metal but anything heavier then what the average stock mic has would be good as well. I am not ham fisted and have only ever had one PTT switch fail on me and that was after over 10 years of daily use in a mobile unit.
I know I am lazy!!!
