I thought this would allow my copilot to talk on the radio. Didn’t read the description closely enough. Instead, it disabled the vox function and the PTT was for intercom only. . I was able to rewire it so that vox works and she can talk to ATC.

Cut off the switch and plug and used the coil wire to replace a worn out one on my 172.

I had been concerned because of some problems others had. However, my switch worked with no problem and is exactly what I ordered. I have it paired with my headset and the Yaesu 550 radio. Everything works like a charm while I await my new Garmin radio.

Product needed to be adapted to fit into my panel wiring.

Took it apart to use the switch alone as a replacement part. So far so good.

Mic audio hi connected to the microphone jack in this assembly is NOT wire correctly. Same issue since 2016. Fresh out of the box PTT button intermittently sticks closed. This product is due for a revision.

Unfortunately, these PTT switches do not work. I have tried them in three different aircraft. When plugged in the mic is not connected to the intercom unless the PTT switch is pressed, which of course also mean your are transmitting. As far as I can tell, they are simply wired incorrectly.

Q: What panel jack will I need with this switch?

This portable PTT is not designed to work with a panel jack. I is intended to be used in line with a headset and portable intercom. If you need a PTT for you panel mounted radio you will need to buy a stick or yoke mount PTT and wire it. It is a .206 plug.

Q: What is the Warranty on the Economy Push-to-talk switch?

This would be covered by our standard 30 day warranty. As this product is really popular with no reported issues, if you were ever to encounter a problem after purchase, please give us a call and a customer service representative will be happy to help you.

Q: This PTT has a female and a male plugs. Can you please explain what is connected in each one? I have a A6 radio and portable intercom.

For the Icom A6, you will need to use the Icom PTT switch part number 11-18529.

Q: I made a mistake and bought this PTT for a panel mounted radio. Is there any way to adapt it?

No, panel mount and portable units are not cross compatible.

Q: Can I use the Economy PTT switch with a handheld Icom A-24 and a headset? It will be in an ultralight.

Yes, this can be used with the Icom A24 radio but Icom recommends using their PTT switch, part # 11-18529. You will also need the Icom headset adapter, part # 11-18537 if you do not have one.

Q: Will this work with the Yaesu FTA 230 and what adapter if any is needed?

Yes, you can use this push to talk switch with the Yaesu handheld radios if you have the Yaesu headset adapter. It is included in the FTA 230 box, but if you misplaced yours, please see part # 11-02562.

Q: Will this economy push-to-talk switch work with the Vertex VXA-220 transceiver? My headset has the universal jack that plugs into the standard female jack in all aircraft.

Yes, this economy push to talk switch will work with the Vertex VXA-220 as long as you are using the included Yaesu Vertex headset adapter. The aircraft must be equipped with dual GA jacks, which are standard in most fixed-wing aircraft.

Q: How long is the cord on this switch?

Approx 31" unstretched, but it is a bungee so can extend much further.

Q: Can this remote be placed in the jacks that go into the Yeasu FTA 550aa that are like normal radio jacks from the (Pilot USA 2 Place Intercom) for YAESU FTA-550/750L - - - (PA-200V) ?

Yes, this can be used in line with standard GA input jacks and plugs.

Q: Can this unit be used with the flightcom 2sx? I am adding as a copilot ptt. Thanks.

Yes, as long as the headset jacks are dual GA style, this PTT will work.
