PTT replacement

Post by Stinger »

I have a pilot-side ram horn yoke with a broken PTT switch. Been using the copilot side jacks and PTT or another headset with a built-in PTT switch on an earcup the last while. Getting tired of doing that, time to replace the switch.

I remember seeing on this forum a user that had a PTT with a huge red button. I may be interested in that, but I can't find the post now. I also looked on Spruce for PTT switches and found them (I believe) to be different than when I looked last year. There is one that may work I think, but want to verify first if it'll work?

I got mine from Maule. I tried others but theirs is the right size for the yoke hole and has a large red button that's easy on the thumb. Good price, too.

I'll give them a call, thanks!

12 dollars for the switch by itself.
25 dollars for the bundle. Switch, wires, maybe other things?

Anyway, ordered the bundle earlier today. And a Parts CD....or actually Parts USB since I didn't have one.

I'm not sure what's in the bundle but Maule's price for the PTT switch is reasonable. Here's a similar one from Aircraft Spruce at $20.90.

If the wires are long enough, you only need the switch and a soldering iron.
