Simplex Mod

Some have asked if I make them for sale. Sorry to say, cost wise for parts is expensive here in Canada when shipping, Customs fees from the supplier is factored in. Then add labor. For what they would have to sell for that people would pay. There's really no profit. Then shipping from Canada is also expensive.   You can make one yourself.  Pin out is the same for the Kruzer, Anfibio and Simplex.

Hi Seven, you think this would work on the Vanquish? I just got one today and it has rained all day. I would like to try this on it. Mine is the 440, not with wireless headphones. I may not like it, if not, it will go down the road. Thanks  Dean

Will only work if you know the pinout of the Vanquish and wire it accordingly.

I built this but I see that the speaker is still active with the headphones attached. I found by adding a 1kOhm resistor from pin 7 to pin 5 tells the detector a wired headset is attached and mutes the internal speaker.

Here is a photo showing the solder side of the connector with the headphone and USB connections shown (sorry about my drawing of the headphone jack).
