Z Tactical Headset with Real Nexus U94 PTT

[Baz JJ]

Can anybody tell me whether Z-Tactical headsets like their MSA sordin copies will work with a Nexus U94 Real PTT wired with a TP-120.

I have the real PTT which is designed for real Sordins and dont really want to abandon the PTT as its good quality, but cant rely justify the expense of the real headset.

I had a google but the info on the web is contradictory at best.

Depends entirely on the spec of the PTT, if it's an amplified one then all you'll be able to transmit is very loud noise, if not it should work fine.

That said, z-tac sordins are utterly rubbish and it's well worth spending the extra money for real ones.

Yes Im coming round to that POV.

I have the Nexus PTT which will of course work with the RS Sordins but think I might need to have an amplifier fitted so it will work with my Baofengs, as there is a microphone mismatch between Sordins and ham style radios. Am going to check it out with the radio guys on Monday.

If all else fails, send the lot to talking headsets and they'll do some expensive magic to make it work.
