Heil Sound Pro Set 6 Headset PS-6 on an 8400

Hi everyone,

I am in the process of buying my first Flex radio and I am trying to work out what I need to do to make my Heil Sound Pro Set 6 Headset PS-6 work on an 8400.

Here is a link to the model I bought from DX Engineering: https://www.dxengineering.com/parts/HLS-PS-6

I have been using this headset on a Yaesu up until now and I had to plug the two chords into an adaptor to connect it to the FTDX10. If I were to just remove that Yaesu adaptor and plug the Heil PS6 straight into the back of the 8400 would it work or do I need to buy some other type of adaptor to make it work?

The Heil website says it will work and Mike (VA3MW) at Flex says it won't and that I should look here for help from the community.

Yours confused,

David

And here is another update from me to me! Thanks me!

I got the new radio and it indeed appears that the headset works by plugging it directly into the radio MIC and PHONE ports. I will add more info here to help others looking for the same thing when I have more to share. Hope it helps!

Here is an answer to my own question from Herry at Heil in case anyone else comes here with the same problem searching for an answer:

"The Heil headset microphone lead (gray plug) will connect to the mic input labeled above which is 3.5mm or 1/8"

The black stereo cable will connect to your headphone input.

That's all you should need to connect besides the PTT connection to get it working."

I hope that helps some confused soul as I have been!
