10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>John, from what I have read, some civilian
headsets work very nicely with just a plug conversion, while others do
not. You just have to plug it in and find out what it sounds like. Brian’s
headset box is really intended for those that have poor audio quality with just
a plug conversion. I can’t recall off hand what the circuit does,
but I believe it amplifies or cleans up the microphone output, damned if I can’t
find the file I had on this stuff. Brian sent it to me once before but I
can’t find it.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

mic to a pc input type. They are different impedances. You will
need to buy an adapter plug that converts your single military U-174 plug to a
civilian headset and mic plug. Now you need to be careful to not buy just
the adapter, but you must buy the adapter that also converts the impedance as well.
The plug adapter alone will not work, you MUST convert the impedance as
well. Once you have done this, then you build one of Brian’s little
boxes and this converts the civilian plugs to pc plugs. </span></font><font
