EARMOR Tactical Midland Version PTT Radio Adapter - Rugged Clip Module

In this review the EARMOR Tactical Midland Version PTT Military Standard 7.0 Plug is judged as a purpose-built interface for users who need a durable push-to-talk module compatible with a long list of Midland and Alan radios. The bottom line: this is a simple, rugged PTT meant for Earmor headsets and MSA-style systems where a military standard 7.0 plug and a strong mounting clip matter most. It is not a universal headset adapter, but for teams using Earmor or MSA gear it solves wired PTT reliability with a big, easy-to-find button and a vest-friendly steel clip.

Key Features

• Military Standard 7.0 Plug: Ensures compatibility with a wide range of Midland and Alan GMRS/FRS and marine radios listed by the manufacturer for reliable wired connections.
• Robust steel clip: The heavy-duty clip mounts securely to a vest or webbing and includes rubber padding to avoid damaging gear during extended use.
• Durable polymer housing: Lightweight but sturdy construction keeps the module rugged without adding unnecessary bulk to headsets or radio rigs.
• Large tactile button: A prominent, easy-to-find PTT button makes one-handed operation straightforward even with gloves on.
• Mini jack for optional switch: A mini jack socket accepts the optional M50 finger push button to add flexibility in how operators trigger transmit.
• Designed for Earmor/MSA systems: Works with Earmor headsets and MSA-compatible setups, avoiding compatibility problems common with civilian brands.

Who It's For

The module is aimed at professional users and serious hobbyists who pair Earmor headsets with Midland or Alan radios and need a robust, vest-mounted PTT solution. If you run communications in outdoor, industrial, or tactical training environments and require a military-style 7.0 plug, this module provides a dependable wired interface.

Users who rely on Z-Tactical, Element, civilian tactical headsets or Peltor-branded systems should look elsewhere, because the product warnings state it will not work with those civilian headset models. Casual users with unlisted radio brands should verify compatibility before purchasing.
