Patriot headphones, wired for Anfibio now

[rc2125]

Bought a M12 8 pin plug to experiment and see if I could get my favorite headphones to run on my Anfibio and/or Simplex. Amazon had an inexpensive connector that is handy to test with, but doesn’t squeeze down around the wire enough or with any sealing abilities, other than maybe filling with encapsulating epoxy. Managed to find a source on ebay, from UK, for the previously common connectors that get sold as “ctx headphone connectors”, same as what the LS Pelso’s used i believe. So, will swap out when those arrive. Anyhow, it is possible and they do work. Louder than the others, with the finest audio of any waterproofs, imo.

Strip the wire 3/4 inches.
Fold the striped wire back 2 or 3 times upon itself to make it thick enough for the terminals.

I got the "good" connectors finally, from the UK, re-did these and my other set too. They fit and tighten around the cable sheath perfectly. These connect much smoother too, that one above was pretty shotty.
