This is the thread I did on mine. I accidentally posted it in the 5 ton section like an idiot.

Does either the VIC-1 or VIC-4 have a VOX (Voice operated) option for the intercom or is it strictly PTT (Push to talk)?

 

[TACTICAL6]

Here is my VIC1 install, works great, you can pipe music through too. Still need to add one to the cargo area.

What are you doing to pipe music through it?

What are you doing to pipe music through it?

Hook up a speaker wire from your device to the audio input jacks on the front of the AM1780 box. Not the best audio in the world, but nice background music while driving.

Check state laws. Calif doesn't allow headsets covering both ears for the driver.

 

[A/C Cages]

All 50 states have to allow both ears only if it falls under hearing impairment protection laws stated by the federal gov. This only falls under firetrucks, ambulance, cranes, ect.

Your military vehicles are expemt from this also if you have it licened as a Horseless carriage / fire fighting / military aparatus.

I will locate the actuall law # but im sure someone here already knows it.

Heres mine. I have a soft top on mine so I made some hooks to hang the head sets up.

Wow. Good thread guys. I am now subscribed.

I like using my David Clark headsets in the airplane. Would proly be good in this realm as well. But I am curious about the PFR headsets as then you can talk to everyone in the convoy or with ground guides. HMMMM. More research.

I love it when rookie cops pull me over for no tags showing or headset wearing. They will never forget me when im done with them.

 

[Billy Bobbed]

Now you guys got me started looking.Does anyone have a buy it all store or is it better to buy all parts seperately.I have been looking on ebay and the net,not going to be cheap.I want to stay with the vic-1 intercom system.I found a place that sells some of the pieces,but shipping will probably be bad.
