Hey guys,
Just purchased one of these: http://www.prestigecom.net.au/index.php ... cts_id=537
Now I just tested it with a scanner to see what it sounds like, and I can't get audio output unless I hold the PTT button down. I would of thought that audio output would still come through, with the audio input (mic) active when you hold the button down yes? Or have I gotten a defective unit?

Sorry yorky I've read that a couple of times and still found it confusing, probably because I'm knackered, so if I completely miss read my apologies.
You've plugged the set into a scanner, and to listen to the audio you have to press the PTT.
Not sure how well it would work in something other than what it's designed for, but I'd try testing it in a radio there may be some wiring thing. Certainly you should only be pressing the PTT when you're going to transmit which should cut the earpiece.
