In my RV9A I have a handheld Icom A-6 radio for a backup in case I were to lose my power to my in-panel Garmin GTR200 com radio. I just bought a ga two plug headset with Bose XX with Bluetooth. What I want to accomplish is to plug the matchbook size Bluetooth transmitter (3.5 mm jack) into my handheld speaker jack and transmit the audio out to the transmitter to my Bluetooth headset. At a electronic store which has three models for under $35. One is capable of either transmitting out on Bluetooth frenquency to a Bluetooth device or receiving from a Bluetooth device and taking that signal and sending it by way of the 3.5mm plug to a amplifier with speakers. So I plugged this Bluetooth transmitter into my handheld speaker jack (as noted next to the socket) to listen to ATIS on the ground through my Bluetooth headset. It seemed to pair but I could NOT get ATIS audio to come through the ear pieces. One person I asked said maybe impedence or the radio is a 300 ohm output on the 3.5mm jack of which I haven’t a clue what their talking about.
I thought this little unit (plays for 10 Hours on-a charge ) would be perfect to for just listening on Bluetooth ear buds or headset in the hangar or going for a walk or listening for incoming traffic a Oshkosh or your home airport.or even if you have a shelf Aviation radio this little broadcasts up to 30 feet for one model.
