[TenTec] Computer Headset Secured -- Now What?

[Jerry Haigwood]

For my TS-590S, I built everything inside of the 8 pin mic plug.  I used two
tantalum caps and two 1/8 watt resistors and removed the pins of the mic
plug which were not used to allow a little extra room.  I brought out a
3.5mm jack for the headset mic and I purchased a 3.5mm to 1/4 inch adapter
for the headphones.  I also brought out a 2.5mm jack for the PTT.  I use
either foot switch or a hand switch made out of PVC tubing and end caps.  A
small PTT switch is mounted in the PVC cap. I documented all this and put it
up on the Kenwood TS-590S email list.  The same method can be used for the O
II. The headset came from Walmart and is labeled as a GE product.

I make my own, but I like the ones made by a ham who does business under 
the style of   Audiocomm    on eBay.com.

Otherwise, you could copy the adapter I built.  Joel Hallas says they are
gonna put my project in QST magazine.  Here is a link to a description of
it:
