Randy, K7AGE, has a good YouTube video about how to do this. I've got the BlueParrot headset and the audio interface also, but haven't had time to try them out. I ordered both pieces that Randy's video recommends, and both have fairly easy credit-card ordering from their websites.

The headset took about 6 weeks to receive after I ordered it, but hopefully the company is back to current stock again. Main advantage, as pointed out in the video, is that this headset brings the mike tube out close to the side of your mouth.

FYI, besides the Jabra piece, I've also found similar devices with submini plugs from Logitech and Motorola at local big-box home entertainment stores like Best Buy. Both look like they could be used instead of the Jabra unit. YMMV.

Curious if anyone has seen anything concerning Bluetooth and interfacing with radios? With the convergence of laws requiring hands free operation while mobile, and tools like Jawbone URL <http://www.jawbone.com/ > it would seem like the next step.

Jawbone has a sensor that detects words coming only the individual (detects the sounds coming through the skin and compares to other noises), and only then goes into 'talk' mode.

Mine works great on a cell phone. I can see a need for developing a Bluetooth interface for radios. But didn't know if something already existed.
