Description
NOS (new old stock), in box. Rare military radio H-161E/U Headset Microphone - as shown in photo. According to sources, this headset is rated for medium to loud environments. It has two U-229 plugs, the short one for a radio and the long one for an intercom. The switch has three positions, momentary Radio Talk, center listen to radio and in the intercom position both talk and listen on intercom. There is a "bail out" connector to allow the operator to leave a vehicle with the headset still attached. The earphones will fit under a helmet. The "E" version, and maybe all versions, are designed to be used with both the intercom and radio connectors connected and the radio ground to be common with the intercom ground. This means that if only the radio connector is connected to a radio like any of the PRC-68 family the headset will not work.
