[simpits-tech] An idea - headset boxes

[Inventmd at aol.com]

<<You will need to buy an adapter plug that converts your single military 
U-174 plug to a civilian headset and mic plug. >>

Where do we get these adapters?  I have a mil set of David Clarks I want to 
use for civilian aviation.

I am confused since I find that civilian headsets convert to PC easily with a 
simple radio Shack big mic to little mic adapter.  What does Brian’s box do?

<<NO Steve, these boxes will not convert a military 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.
