Two Way Headset Radio

Headset: two pin
Two way radio: has only 1 pin (it only accepts a special headset set)
But I was thinking that I could unscrew the radio and solder the speaker wire to the one connected the build in speaker and the microphone to the build in mic. Can someone tell me I this will work out?

It depends on the radio. Vehicle radios can be anywhere from 8 ohm to 50 ohm speaker outputs. Handhelds can be from 16 ohm to 600 ohm outputs. Most Motorola handhelds are about 16 ohm outputs to the headset or speaker mics.
Transmit audio is a different story. Many two way radios put DC voltage on the mic line for amplified mic elements. They take close to 1/2 volt audio. Others only take a few millivolts. If your add on mic way overdrives the radio you can try adding resistors in line till it sounds good. 10k ohm or so.
After all that, it's not going to sound very good. Computer mics are made to transmit up to 20khz. Most two way readios only handle 3khz audio and don't sound good if you try to cram high frequency audio down their throats. Computer mics tend to be way too sensitive and pick up a lot of background noise too.

I have searched everywhere on the internet and can't find any!

if it is a 4-pin, try telex, they make great headsets, but they are heavy, so I dont know if you are going to be moving around a lot or not

also just google "headsets" its the connection you are looking for, and 2-ways seem to be pretty standard

I have a uniden 885 walkie talkie two way radio that comes with its own headset.The plug that the headset uses is a single 2.5mm jack plug.I want to use the radio on my motorcycle.So the headset that comes with the radio is no good as it wont fit inside a helmet.I have had a look for one on the web but the ones that i find dont use a single 2.5mm jack plug.Can anyone recommend one that i can use.

Take a look at your existing headset plug and see if it has one black band around it or two. Those are insulators and will tell you if the output from your uniden is mono (one band) of stereo (two bands). Next, buy a headset that works in your helmet that has the same # of bands. Go to Radio Shack or something better and ask those pathetic geeks to help you make a conversion cable that will work. They have all kinds of tips (plugs/sockets) made to fit most devices that are interchangeable, relatively inexpensive, and they work fine. Good luck.

I'm getting some two-way radios and headsets for airsofting, and I'm just wondering if the XT (for example, Midland GXT or LXT) in Midland radio names stands for Extra Talk. Thanks to all who contribute!

it doesnt however i am drawing a blank about what it does mean. ill update later if i remember...
