I have a very comfortable old headset with a boom mike of about WWII vintage that I'd like to retrofit, and I need information on the microphone end of things. I was wondering if the "electret" recorder microphone elements are compatible with the aircraft radios. How do they wire up? Also, does anyone have information on the transmit switch wiring schemes?
