[amsat-bb] Operating with the THD-72 handheld

[Jim Jipping]

Good advice!  You failed to mention how well they work with hearing 
aids.  I use one with a bluetooth reciever for my hearing aids instead 
of earphones.

These transmitters are  reasonable cheap and available from a number of well known sources.Simply plug the Blue tooth Tx into  THD-72 audio jack and pair with the Bluetooth  speaker  - You canadjust the THD-72 volume control to suit your conditions.The size of these Bluetooth transmitters is sometimes smaller than an SDR dongle,  some even have a wired jack plug fitted.
