What is this thing?
The OHIS User Adapter Kit makes a User Adapter (see the OHIS Overview tab for details). This kit:
- Has an OHIS compliant User port, to be connected to an OHIS compliant Radio device.
- Microphone: either Dynamic or Electret
- Headphones: Conventional 3-pin TRS headphones, or CTIA 4-pin TRRS headsets.
- PTT: Built-in button, or external switch.
How is this different from the HHI User Pro?
They accomplish similar things. They are both User Adapters to convert your headset (or other microphone/headphones/PTT combo) to an OHIS compliant User connection.
The OHIS User Adapter (this product):
- Is Open Source. Anyone can source their own parts and make and improve it. Or, to save the hassle, buy the kit from Halibut Electronics.
- Is a kit that requires assembly. It’s a simple kit: entirely through-hole, no surface mount. It a good first-time learn-to-solder kit for clubs or individuals.
- Is configurable for the most common headset types:
- 2 connector 3-pin TRS headphones and microphone, or 1 connector 4-pin TRRS headset.
- Electret or Dynamic mic elements.
The HHI User Pro:
- Is a completed, assembled “pro level” product, not a kit. It’s in a full case, not just a stack of circuit boards.
- Includes a built-in microphone VU meter to aid in adjusting Mic levels
- Is more configurable, but less hackable.
- Is a Halibut Electronics branded product, with Halibut Electronics support, not open source.
