Headset adaptor for ICOM Marine Radios

Using a suitably modified Icom Marine Radio this Headset Adator unit will allow you to connect a headset to the radio giving full transmit and receive.

Ideal for noisy work and open boats where you dont want to miss a call.

Note that this unit this will only work with particular radios. See the compatibility chart below.

Construction
A plug in connector with 3 metres of cable (or longer) runs to a heavy duty epoxy coated diecast headset socket allowing the headset to be connnected to a convenient place near the helm.

A variety of headset sockets can be fitted to the box to suit your headet requirement. 
Nexus TJ101 for Peltor,  Wildtalk QX for QX headsets and Binder IP67 for open boats and Gecko Comms kits for example.

Compatibility List
Many Icom radios only have a socket for the optional HM-195 Command Mic. This functionality remains should you need it. 

The modifications and parts will have no effect on the working of the radio’s existing front hand mic so this will remain fully functional giving you the option of hand mic or headset or both.

IC-M510. 
No modifications are needed to the radio. The radio already has both front and back mic sockets. However, without modification to the front microphone, when the headset PTT is pressed the front mic remains live and conversely when the front mic PTT is pressed the headset Mic remains live. The modified mic keeps the mic mute until its PTT button is pressed.
We can modify your existing HM205RB Microphone or supply you with a new mic and modify it for you.

IC-M423. 
This radio needs modification. We fit an internal PCB and headset socket and supply this radio with a full return to Wildtalk warranty of the same duration as the Icom original. 
The modification provides a second Mic socket on the rear of the radio into which the headset adaptor or a (modified HM205RB can be connected.
