Abstract:
1. An apparatus comprising: a first connector to enable the coupling of a first audio device to the apparatus; a second connector to enable the coupling of a second audio device to the apparatus; and a push-to-talk (PTT) switch having a center position, operable to a first non-center position from the center position to engage a PTT function of the first audio device at a time when the first audio device is coupled to the apparatus, operable to a second non-center position from the center position to engage a PTT function of the second audio device at a time when the second audio device is coupled to the apparatus, mechanically structured to prevent the PTT functions of both of the first and second audio devices from being simultaneously engaged, and in which a biasing force tends to bias the PTT switch towards the center position from the first and second non-center positions.
