Integrated Telecommunications Handset

摘要

A rugged, ergonomic integrated telecommunications handset includes an electronic controller that interoperates and controls the universal remote control (URC), which connects to multiple radios simultaneously. The controller downloads options which are implemented by the controller. The handset has an ability to vibrate in a silent mode, and has a memory capacity, as well as GPS capacity. Ergonomically, the handset has a pair of side arrays of protruding ribs, which enhance gripping, preventing the handset from falling out of the user's hands, even if the user has gloves on in inclement weather conditions in the field. While compatible with the latest radio system software defined dual net and dual channel radio equipment, the handset is also backward compatible with single radios or with two or more separate radios.

主权项

1. An integrated telecommunications handset comprising:
a microphone, earphone, a volume control wheel, headset jack, first and second push to talk (PTT) buttons, said first PTT button for connection to a first radio channel, and said second PTT button for connection to a second radio channel; said microphone being directly connected to both said first and second PTT buttons; clockwise rotation of said volume control wheel increasing earphone volume, and counterclockwise rotation of said volume control wheel decreasing earphone volume; said handset having an option for a user to assert a PTT button on the first radio channel, the second radio channel or both together; wherein depression of each respective first and second PTT buttons respectively activates a respective microphone and asserts the PTT function on each said first radio channel and said second radio channel; a headphone jack with a built-in switch; wherein the earphone is muted when the headset is inserted into said headphone jack; wherein said thumbwheel volume control is connected to both said first and second radio channels whereby rotation in one direction increases volume for one radio channel and reduces volume for the other radio channel, with reverse rotation of the thumbwheel having opposite effects, said thumbwheel having a zero position where radio signals from both radio channels are equal; said handset transmitting and receiving intelligible, distortion-free voice signals to and from either said first radio channel, said second radio channel, or both thereby allowing the user to have direct access to, and converse on both radio channels simultaneously.
