2013-10-20 Thread Rod Lane
We use the Linemaster Treadlite T-91-PS switches at work for intercom panels in operator areas. They're reliable and easy to wire up. I did a search on eBay and found one. It has a lower spring weight, so you won't have to step on it as hard as the Clipper series. It's also lighter weight so

[Flexradio] Wireless Radio PTT

2013-09-24 Thread Rod Lane
Just in case anyone's looking for a wireless PTT button to match up with a Bluetooth headset setup for the Flex, I've used this little kit from eBay on my Flex-3000 to great success. It's 12v powered, dry contact closure, and it'll handle 30A at 12V (surely more than enough for PTT ;^) The
