Hi all, Thought you all might like more info on the Talk safe product,
that Handiham ran last week. Sounds interesting.
Hi Gary,
Thank you for your email and your interest in TalkSafe.
TalkSafe is the Bluetooth interface between your rig and a standard
off-the-shelf Bluetooth headset (like you would use for your mobile
phone).
Once the unit is connect to your rig (using a rig-specific mic cable),
all you would need to do is 'pair' the headset to make the connection
(there are audible tones that would help you to recognise when pairing
has taken place). Finally, the call pick up/call drop button on the
headset becomes your PTT and as it is a latched system, you would press
and release the button once to transmit and press and release once again
for receive.
TalkSafe was originally designed purely for mobile use and as such, is
supplied with a cigar lighter plug to obtain power from the vehicle.
However, this plug could be cut off and wired direct into a battery. I'm
assuming that you want this for base station use (which a large number
of your compatriots are already doing also), so here you have 2/3
options for obtaining power. The first option is to cut the plug off and
connect the red and black wires to the relevant terminals on your PSU.
The second option is to buy an adaptor socket that the cigar plug on
TalkSafe can slot into and the other end then connects to the PSU.
Finally, some PSU's already have a cigar socket on them, in which case,
problem solved!
At present I am in negotiation with a potential dealer for the US, so in
the meantime I'm supplying direct to people on your side of the pond.
The price (depending on the exchange rate) works out to approximately US
$ 228. This will get you a TalkSafe, one rig-specific mic cable (which
would need to be specified at time of ordering) plus shipping.
If I can be of any further help, please let me know.

Hi Gail, Thanks for an interesting product. Is this product
available in the US? How does it recognize that you are using something
that is called Bluetooth? I am a blind Ham and think it would work
great for hands free operations. Gary KB2YAA
