Relay Talkback on an added switch for on/off (For 10 meter radios & similar chassis)

Relay Talkback is a talkback function that can be added to an Export style radio in order to replace the factory designed Talkback. Talkback enables the radio operator to hear his/her voice through the radio's internal speaker or an external speaker

A Relay Talkback is is highly recommended for Galaxy, Connex, Ranger, Virage, and North Star radios. The built in factory talkback can be unstable resulting in squealing or the uncontrollable raising and lowering of the talkback volume for no apparent reason.

This option allows for the Talkback to be turned on and off when desired by adding an additional switch. The switch may be added to the side or back of the radio.

Talkback is imperative if you intend to add a noise toy. It enables the user to hear when the toy has finished, and also aids in setting an echo.

Please indicate the desired placement of the switch (right, left or back). If the radio has a mike jack on the side, the side opposite the mike jack is usually the preferred side due to space limitations

The acoustics of every auto varies from one auto to another. External speakers have a different tone and loudness characteristics from one brand and model to another. The sensitivity of one brand of mike compared to another is also quite different. We need to know what type of mike, the brand and model of speaker to be used and approximate placement of the speaker in relation to the mike in order to set the loudness of the talkback. Notes may be added to the note section when placing the order.

Please note that if the switch is added to the side or back of the radio a hole will have to be drilled. Drilling a hole in the case may void the factory warranty. We normally recommend one of the other talkback methods instead of this method in order to preserve the factory warranty.
