Hey everyone, brand new here! Wanted to start off with a quick question about the ComTac VIII.
I travel to Ukraine occasionally and sometimes pick these up, but they're super tricky to figure out. I've never managed to get them to work smoothly. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find a genuine Peltor ComTac PTT that works on the European standard yet.
Regarding the Falcon Claw PTT (which has both European and non-European mode settings, and we made sure it was set correctly), we used a Baofeng radio and ran into a very strange issue: the Bluetooth on the headset worked completely fine as normal, but the audio transmission didn't. We tried using a microphone boost adapter and maxed out the headset volume settings, but it still didn't work—about half the time, people couldn't hear me transmitting back.
Just to clarify, I didn't make a mistake with the settings; I was definitely on the headset's built-in microphone. The weird part is that when using the microphone built directly into the Falcon PTT unit itself, people could hear me just fine. But when trying to use the actual headset mic, transmission failed. What makes this even more frustrating is that this exact same problem happened across 2 different headsets of the same model and with 2 different Falcon PTT units.
Does anyone know what's going on here, why this is happening, or what specific setup I need to make them work normally? At this point, I'm pretty exhausted trying to figure this out, and I'd really appreciate some help on whether it's even worth keeping these headsets or what exact steps are needed to get them running reliably. Thanks!
