THE COMBAT PUSH-TO-TALK MEASURES 2" WIDE X 2" TALL X 1" THICK. THE FRONT OF THE PTT HOUSING FEATURES A 1", SHROUDED PTT 'EMERGENCY' SWITCH. THIS SWITCHING MECHANISM PROVIDES BOTH A TACTILE FEEL AND AN AUDIBLE CLICKING SOUND. IT WAS DESIGNED BY A TACTICAL TEAM TO BE USED EXCLUSIVELY IN SITUATIONS WHERE THERE WAS NO INHERENT DANGER OF A SUSPECT(S) HEARING THE DEPRESSION AND RELEASE OF THE BUTTON -- ITS EASE OF LOCATION AND ACCESS WAS THE DRIVING FORCE IN THE DESIGN AND POSITION OF THE SWITCH.
COMBAT PUSH-TO-TALK
THE COMBAT PUSH-TO-TALK WAS DESIGNED WELL OVER A DECADE AGO ORIGINALLY FOR LAPD SWAT. IT FEATURES TWO PUSH-TO-TALK SWITCHES AS WELL AS A PARTIALLY SHROUDED REMOTE RADIO VOUME CONTROL. AN ALLIGATOR CLIP, FEATURING PROTECTIVE RUBBER COATED TEETH, PROVIDES THE MOUNTING METHOD WHILE THE END-USER CAN CONNECT HIS / HER HEADSET PLATFORM VIA A 5 CONDUCTOR. OVERMOLDED, FEMALE, NEXUS JACK CONFIGURATION WITH PROTECTIVE CAP. THE COMBAT PTT IS ONLY AVAILABLE FOR CERTAIN COMMERCIAL, LAW ENFORCEMENT, PORTABLES. CONTACT YOUR ATLANTIC SIGNAL REPRESENTATIVE FOR RADIO DETAILS VIA SUPPORT@ATLANTICSIGNAL.COM
THE COMBAT PTT FEATURES A SECONDARY SWITCHING MECHANISM LOCATED ON THE INBOARD SIDE/EDGE OF THE PTT HOUSING. THIS SWITCH, ALSO SHROUDED, IS SILENT WHEN DEPRESSED AND RELEASED - DESIGNED FOR USE IN SCENARIOS WHERE THE FRONT MOUNTED, CLICKING SWITCH, COULD PROVE DANGEROUS WITH THE AUDIBLE CLICKING SOUND POSSIBLY GIVING AWAY LOCATION OF AN OFFICER.
THIS PROFILE OF THE COMBAT PUSH-TO-TALK PROVIDES A CLEAR PERSPECTIVE OF THE LAYOUT OF BOTH PTT SWITCHES (TOP/FRONT & SIDE).
THE SIDE/EDGE OPPOSITE THE SILENT PUSH-TO-TALK SWITCH FEATURES A REMOTE RADIO VOLUME CONTROL. THE PARTIALLY SHROUDED ROTARY SWITCH PROVIDES THE USER A REMOTE METHOD OF ADJUSTING HIS/HER PORTABLE RADIO UP AND DOWN -- PARTICULARLY APPLICABLE IF THE RADIO IS POSITIONED ON THE BACK OR NEAR THE BACK OF THE VEST, OUT OF EASE OF REACH, ON THE CUMBERBUND.
A BLACKENED, STAINLESS STEEL ALLIGATOR CLIP IS THE METHOD OF ATTACHMENT TO A PROTECTIVE VEST. THE 'TEETH' OF THE CLIP ARE COVERED WITH ATTACHED, PROTECTIVE RUBBER TO PREVENT TEARS OR SNAGS ON A VEST'S MOLLE STRIPS.
THE TOP SIDE/EDGE OF THE COMBAT PTT FEATURES A 2 PIN ECP (ELECTROINC COMMUNICATIONS PORT) FOR CONNECTION TO A 2 PIN TO 2 PIN ADAPTER CABLE DESIGNED TO CONNECT TO VARIOUS MODELS OF BREATHING APPARATUS THAT FEATURE A COMMUNICATIONS PORT. THE OUTBOARD SIDE OF THE TOP EDGE OF THE COMBAT PTT HOUSING FEATURES AN OVERMOLDED, 5C, FEMALE, NEXUS, JACK ASSEMBLY - USED TO CONNECT THE HEADSET DOWNLEAD TO THE COMBAT PTT.
THE 5 CONDUCTOR, FEMALE, NEXUS JACK ASSEMBLY FEATURES A CUSTOM, ATLANTIC SIGNAL OVERMOLD WITH FLEXIBLE TPE CAP ASSEMBLY TO PREVENT DUST, DIRT AND WATER INGRESS INTO THE INTERNAL JACK ASSEMBLY COMPONENTS WHEN A HEADSET IS NOT CONNECTED.
