In my current station, the oldest radio (Super-Pro SP 400) and the newest one (Icom 718) do not use them, but the other radios do. Is this unique to Tentec, or the Omni VI's or do other radios have this confusion of plugs and jacks?Ĭlick to expand.I've only had a few that didn't. The Tentec speaker that comes in the power supply has an RCA plug, but the speaker jack on the radio is a 1/4" phone jack. The straight key, and my newly built memory keyer, also has a phone plug the Omni has an RCA jack. The Bencher paddles I have has a 1/4" plug the internal keyer jack is a 3.5mm. The speaker I have has a 3.5mm plug the radios have a 1/4" jack. It arrived today, a cheap Chinese device that is internally shorted, apparently, at least according to the transmitter and an ohm meter.Ĭome to think of it, every single plug on these two radios takes an adapter. Radio Shack pretends to have them but the local store doesn't, or doesn't know if they do. This cable works in all my other rigs, flawlessly. So far, I have been unable to obtain a working adapter to fit this RCA jack, to adapt from a mono cable that uses 3.5 mm plugs on each end. I don't think I have ever had a radio that used these plugs, in over 50 years of radio. If you use the internal keyer, you plug your paddles in a 1/4" phone jack, but to use a straight key, or your own keyer, etc., you must use an RCA plug. I have two of them, both Tentec Omni VI's, for the key. Does anyone have a radio which has an RCA jack for audio (speaker out), key in, microphone in, etc?
