PTT for Headset adapter in Icom IC- A20 handheld

  • By chris from venice CA USA on Tuesday, November 30, 2010

Worked for me!

  • By Airport Betty from Hawthorne NV USA on Wednesday, November 10, 2010
  • Pros: Sound was good quality.
  • Cons: Lots of cords, but other than wireless, how else could you do it?
  • Review: I got these to go with my David Clark headset so I can hear and communicate when necessary while I'm on the ramp with a lot of aircraft noise. I have an ICOM A-6 and it works fine.

Needed a new one to replace the old one

  • By Deathgrip Dave the Skydiver from North Bend OR USA on Tuesday, April 21, 2015
  • Pros: I find the finger button with a Velcro band to attach to a couple fingers to be very convenient.
  • Cons: After heavy continuous use the tactile click disappears.
  • Review: I got this because the old (same model) PTT finger switch lay in the sun too many times and the jacket of the coil cord disintegrated. So I got another one that should be good for another 5-6 years.

Good product, but cheaper for a reason.

  • By Jon from Johnson City TN USA on Thursday, July 02, 2009
  • Pros: solid generic product.
  • Cons: The cord is too short by about 2 feet.
  • Review: The product is almost identical to higher priced models. However, there are two small problems. First, the cord is too short by about 1.5 to 2 feet. Second, the velcro attaching strap for the switch needs to be about 4" longer.

Product Should Include Ferrites

  • By A Customer from Incline Village NV USA on Monday, October 26, 2009
  • Pros:
  • Cons: Doesn't work as-is with at least two common headset brands
  • Review: RF feedback generated from my ICOM A24 radio makes the PPT switch unusable with my David Clark and LightSpeed Zulu headsets. Besides the loud squeal the mic's signal never makes it to the radio. This is a known problem for which ICOM has issued a notice. Adding two ferrite beads to the headset cord fixes the problem for the David Clarks. The sole reason for my purchase was to establish a backup cockpit radio in the event of panel radio failures. Since I've yet to make it work with the Zulu, the switch has little value for this purpose.

Icom A24 radio and PTT switch

  • By A Customer from Charlotte, NC on Wednesday, November 25, 2009
  • Pros: easy to operate
  • Cons: not usable in flight, and why else would you buy one?
  • Review: Got new A24, comes with plugs/cord for headset. Trying both David Clark and Lightspeed Zulu, squeal during transmit makes it unusable. I just placed two choke cores (ferrite beads) to various places on the cords, no change. Unusable as an inflight back up radio.
