Msa sordin - intek mt5050?

[Shinotama]

Hello people, I was wondering if anyone out there has managed to find a pair of MSA Sordin's that work with the ICOM two pin fitting of a INTEK MT5050? I have tried a cheap pair from asia off a friend but they didn't work, currently I am using a Devgru set up but I really would like a pair of MSA SORDIN's.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Mike

Either that or a pair of peltor comtac.

Forgot to say that.

Z1 does not sell real PTT's, so you have to get one from an actual communication provider. Talkingheadsets(.co.uk) will make you a PTT to fit your radio. Hope it ok to post the link to them:

As above really, talking headsets, the PTT for sordins and comtacs is quite expensive.

As long as I could get a pair that would allow me to use any type of connector by changing it etc at one point like the 'devgru' system allows you to change the connector, I am good for a good price, I know they are pricey but I still want to cost up my options, thanks for the link, anymore help would be awesome =)

Found the ones I would want:
MSA CC Supreme Pro IV ELECTRET-Mic

But I would need a PTT:
The Nexus PTT2000

As far as I can fathom the port on the INTEK MT5050 is a ICOM Staight Pin (S1 Plug Icom Maxon Straight Plug)

..Hmm.. All alot of money I know but I would be a happy bee if I could get 100% confirmation that they work lol..

I can't seem to find many of the peltor-comtac's either.

Additionally - I do apologize about external links but I know Z1 don't sell them and I have purchased BOTH my devgru's from them =) heh.

Get the right connection and the PTT will work, Ive had mine for 4 years and no issues at all.
If you get stuck speak to the talking headsets lot, they are a really helpful bunch.

### UPDATE ####

Good news, I phoned them today and they really are very helpful, they offered to make me a PTT that will fit but can't guarantee it would work so I did suggest sending my radio to him to get it to work and he was happy to do that too.

So in the future when I get the money together and loose some more self restraint I shall be sending my radio to them and get myself a Sordin Supreme CC headset.
