David,

Will Seaquester have headset based intercom between the pilot and PAX?

I just realized I gave bad advice to David about latching the PTT, because I wasn't thinking straight. SSB-2010, or in fact any acoustic unit, will be PTT only. Only 4-wire hardwire systems can run full duplex, so you never want to latch / switch your PTT in the sub to be always on, lest you not be able to receive any transmissions.

Alan, don't know, but I will certainly look into it.  Sounds like it could be as simple as a junction box that accepts VHF and UWC inputs, and a toggle switch to select the appropriate radio.  Nyutco modified his headset to use two boom mics, one for VHF the other for UWC.  I don't remember how we switched between the two transceivers though.  Maybe someone else does.

 

The STX-101 will be easy to modify for off-the-shelf headsets.  It uses a separate banana-clip jack for headset and microphone so there should be no cutting of wires necessary.  The SSB-2010 is going to be more of a hassle because it will require cutting and splicing their stock wire adapter.

Some great thoughts here. 

Jon, are you going to incorporate topside 

Communication through the headset in your design? Looking forward to seeing what you come up with! 

I like the idea of the push button on the controls. 

Alan
