David Epstein Posted July 22, 2016 at 10:59 PM Posted July 22, 2016 at 10:59 PM I have been searching for a PTT for this headset and cannot come across a USB connection. I do not know too much about these headsets, so any help would be great! If you know of a better one and a PTT that goes well with it, please let me know! Thank You!

Andrew Morkunas Posted July 23, 2016 at 01:14 PM Posted July 23, 2016 at 01:14 PM I would recommend the program joker.exe http://nyartcc.org/sectorfiles/Joker.zip. It allows you to map your PPT to virtual keystrokes so you can type on the keyboard and have the PPT pressed at the same time. I use this with a foot switch I do not have issues if I were to use the CTRL, SHIFT, ESC... keys as the PPT. I have used joker successfully with VRC, EuroScope and TeamSpeak.

Camden Bruno Posted July 23, 2016 at 03:28 PM Posted July 23, 2016 at 03:28 PM I would recommend the program joker.exe JoyToKey also works and has some more functionality, if you're interested. Cam B. VATSIM Supervisor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Epstein Posted July 23, 2016 at 04:35 PM Author Posted July 23, 2016 at 04:35 PM Thank you Andrew and Camden, I will most certainly enjoy, I will also try out both programs and see which one I prefer better! Thanks for all the help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Even Rognlien Posted July 24, 2016 at 12:46 PM Posted July 24, 2016 at 12:46 PM Plantronics SSP1051-03 for the PTT, use the DA40 adapter for the USB connection How do you get the PTT working with ES/VRC using this setup? I don't think the DA40 has a built-in joystick micro-controller? :/ to me it looks like the PTT on the SSP1051-03 is just for muting/un muting the microphone, without a separate circuit for the PTT. In that case, you will need a software that emulates a key press based on sound detection, in order to simulate the PTT. I would have bought the SHS2355 instead, which is USB sound and PTT in one adapter.. the PTT is detected as a joystick button and can be mapped to a keystroke using joker.

Ernesto Alvarez 818262 Posted July 24, 2016 at 04:30 PM Posted July 24, 2016 at 04:30 PM i dont use the PTT, just what was recommended to me when i asked months ago. should work with the joy2key software mentioned above Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Epstein Posted July 30, 2016 at 05:09 PM Author Posted July 30, 2016 at 05:09 PM Well bad news, it is recognized as a microphone and with that being said Joker and JoytoKey both are meant for joysticks. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Even Rognlien Posted July 31, 2016 at 07:20 AM Posted July 31, 2016 at 07:20 AM I think the only way you can use the button as PTT in your ATC client is to use a software that listens to the mic and emulates a keystroke while sound is detected (the button on your device is used for unmuting, right?). I don't know of any such software, and I don't think it will work so well either.. I suggest you return the DA40 and the PTT and order the SHS2355. The SHS2355 will appear as one joystick device and one sound device. I use this with the H51N headset and it works great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Doubleday Posted October 22, 2016 at 10:51 PM Posted October 22, 2016 at 10:51 PM If you want the PTT, that's the one to go with. I run joker for the PTT, set as a ghost key so it doesn't interfere with the keyboard (F24 virtual key). They way I can type and talk simultaneously. Also use a foot petal in combo with the PTT. Set to the same virtual key so I can interchange between the two. http://www.delcomproducts.com/productdetails.asp?PartNumber=703600-SM Andrew James Doubleday | Twitch Stream: Ground_Point_Niner University of North Dakota | FAA Air Traffic Collegiate Training Initiative (AT-CTI) Graduate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Epstein Posted November 12, 2016 at 06:40 PM Author Posted November 12, 2016 at 06:40 PM Well Andrew, if that's the case I am going to go ahead and go for that same set up. It sounds very convenient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just got this for Christmas and now have the same setup as AJ. Working great so far and love the ability to type with two hands while talking on frequency Cam B.
