Feedback with Boswell headset
by Alan Eckert from Santa Fe, NM 
Pros: Works fine on receive
Cons: Beware of RF feedback with cheap headsets
Review: The first time I used this with my Boswell headset, I got a feedback squeal when I attempted a radio check with the local control tower. One of my CFIs tried it with his higher-quality headset and had no problems. MyPilotStore suggested twisting the headset cord 2-3 times around the antenna, and indeed if you twist the cord tightly around the base of the antenna, it seems to work. Now, the Boswell headset is inexpensively built, and I suspect the headset cords are not insulated at all or poorly insulated. I see another user had this problem and used ferrite beads. Perhaps I'll try that. In any case, beware this problem, especially with inexpensive headsets and the ICOM unit.

I had to replace the original part
by Wayne from Georgetown TX USA 
Review: An identical item came with the Icom A-24. It worked for a couple of years, then became intermittent and finally quite working. After considerable effort, the fault was found to be in the headset adapter, not in the radio or the headset. Since this is a simple wiring connector it is difficult how it can become inoperative with no broken wires.

by Michael from Reno NV USA

not bad, just not as advertised...
by don from Long Island NY USA 
Pros: works as it should
Cons: junky connectors
Review: Works fine, though connectors were obviously made by the lowest bidder. connectors are bigger than they need to be and have exposed screws. should not have been advertised as the Icom adapter, but rather a lower-priced alternative.

Needs to have Ferrite beads installed
by Michael from Renton WA USA 
Pros: Easy of use and installation
Cons: allows radio transmission feedback to enter the radio.
Review: Although the form and fit are great, the function leaves a lot to be desired. Using the remote PTT switch only induces a high frequency squeal over the radio and headset. ICOM suggested the use of a ferrite bead in a couple of locations but I found that ineffective. I ended up using three ferrite beads along the length of the adapter from the radio to the headphone/microphone breakout. This solved the problem completely. ICOM knows about it but I think they should be using shielded cable for the adapter or use built in ferrite beads to eliminate the feedback issue. Once I applied the three ferrite beads, the adapter works like a charm. If you don't have the ferrite beads, it's pretty much useless when being used with the remote PTT.

Sturdy cable, Needs PTT
by mike from springdale AR USA 
Review: By itself this won't work with your headset. They should just go ahead and put a PTT switch on it. Be sure to buy the PTT switch, also.

A flying necessity
by Thomas from Hampshire IL USA 
Pros: Provides excellent communications with a hand-held radio.
Cons: none
Review: This product is mandatory to transmit and receive from a hand-held radio while flying due to the noisy invironment. Interfacing the tranceiver with my headset allows perfect noise-free clarity of communications.
