Does anybody know of a wireless headset with built-in mike and battery for
use for skipper-to-crew communication? Thanks, Robert |

google Eartec. They make a full-duplex transciever/headset combo (no
push-to-talk, which is handy) for $300. I tried a pair out and they are pretty good.

Thanks, Robert http://www.radioshack.com/sm-gmrs-fr...p-to-10-mile-- pi-2036241.html or any Family Radio Service walkie talkies with VOX headsets. You talk, they transmit. Totally hands free. Also works great for dock communications when someone is going up to the store or car to get the stuff. You know, they're almost to the car when you remembered you forgot to tell them to bring the drill bits with that drill motor? Yeah, that time...(c; The best FRS radios I ever found was a Standard HX625A "Sport Talk" that's now discontinued but still show up on the net. The difference with these over the generic FRS radios is they are water resistant...sealed antennas, controls, o-ring battery compartment seal, rubber boots on all the connections and a first-class, sealed mic/earphone connection for that handsfree headset Standard made for them. They run on 3 AA cells for a long time. All 14 channels and all the privacy tone pairs on an LCD display with rubber, sealed, buttons just like the marine walkie talkies. If you ever see any in good condition, snatch them up....I do. |

Headset for on-deck communication
Have a pair of Motorolas with Jabra headsets and VOX. In practice I find the
VOX setting flaky at best, things like wind noise etc. interferes badly and you need to be very disciplined not to start talking until the other person has finished speaking for a second or two. The headset has a neat little push to talk button that works well though, and allows the unit to stay covererd/protected etc. Cheers "Larry" wrote in message ...

@u72g2000cwu.googlegroups.com: Radio shack has some for about $35, voice activated, work very well, even in windy conditions. Too cheap....no ships wheel or burgee logo...no nautical nameplate...not over $300. They'd be the laughing stock of the whole marina! Why expose yourself to ridicule...(c; |
