radio issue - mr600 + finger ptt = not working together ?

[kihaku]

thanks for all your help last time.

i think i screwed up so hoping you can help me out or at least point me to the right forum...

I have a set of binatone mr600 radios - they work fine on their own, they work fine with the supplied PTT ear set..

but when i try and add in the finger PTT earpiece - it fails to work. i tired upping the vox settings and doing what i could find for general radios through google but no joy.

the finger ptt ear piece has the standard single 3.5 jack... there is two jack points and i have been using the 3.5 for the supplied PTT earpiece and that works fine.

am i doing something wrong or is the ear piece bust or did i get the wrong one.

any advice would be appreciated.

thanks

Are you plugging the finger ptt directly into the radio?
If so then then that will be the issue. Usually a finger ptt plugs into a compatible headset / mic set

Is there a transmit button on the supplied headset? If yes then you can definatley use a remote ptt but may need a different headset

Note regarding vox - switch it off as it is evil
Vox is for hands free use, when you speak the mic will activate transmit. Great if you're working up a ladder. Not so good if you're running around playing paintball heavy breathing.
