Headset Question.. HELP :(
Hi... This is my first post on here...
Basically today I was given a new headset, I believe it is a Telex 3100.
The problem is there is only one jack coming from the headset and the aircraft I fly require dual jacks one for the mic and one for the earphones.
Is this a helicopter headset? or just a strange headset?
THANK YOU

It has a Mic and the jack has 3 white bands on the jack which means it has stereo and mic so I dont think its a listen only. and its not an airbus plug as the headset is basically a standard G/A headset...

Possibly an Air3100l, have a look at this http://mag.telex.com/telex/documentation/air-3100_air-3100l_user_instructions.pdf
Pages 2&3 have pictures, you can probably rewire it or get an adaptor.

Sorry Phil, but the 3100L does NOT have a microphone - the L version is the headphone-only version of the 3100.
The wiring needed for GA use is shown within the User Manual linked by DB6.
Exactly what version/wiring you have currently is near impossible to figure out, particularly since the Telex website is very nearly the worst website on the planet.
It's a good bet the unit you have is wired for helicopter use.

Does it look something very much like this?
This is a PJ-051 connector (I believe you said yours has a locking screw-ring at the body?)
Then my friend what you have here is a "ground crew headset" - this is the headset the ground crew will use to plug up to the aircraft. The single plug makes this easier. A common return 'signal-ground' is used for mic and headphone, hence only 3-conductors are used (mic+, headphone+ and common signal-return).
What you need is a S830 to PJ055B/PJ068 adaptor. The S830 mates with the PJ-051.
Couldn't find one in a quick search on the web (I think David Clark makes one...), but your local avionics shop should be able to knock one up.
