Delcom 960 Wiring Harness

[Jack N. Derrickson]

Greetings,

I have recently acquired a Delcom 960 (GW2960AIR), and was curious if anyone had diagrams or instructions for a harness!

Thanks,

See https://aviation.derosaweb.net/avionics/ and start drilling down until you find DelCom.   Lots of obscure manuals in this archive.

However, the Delcom 960 I know is a handheld portable radio.  My club did have several of these handheld radios from way back when.  You could buy a circular mounting bracket that captured the handheld radio into something that looked like a panel mounted radio.  It used a handheld microphone.  Pretty slick.

Is this what you have?  Share a picture.  If this is what you have there is no way that I know of to build a harness to connect it to gooseneck microphones, speaker, and push-to-talk. 

Best of luck,

John (OHM)

I had a Delcom Air 960 with the panel-mount, the option that replaced the battery on the bottom with connections to ship power, and the hand-held speaker-mic. I intended to put in a boom mic, but the speaker-mic on the shoulder straps worked well enough. That was a great little radio...

Attached are two pictures, it was wired to a speaker beforehand, it was also understanding had a boom mic hooked up as well.

Jack,

Yes, it was a very good radio.  i especially liked the frequency switches.  Sometimes you find them for sale on eBay.

We too had it wired into the ship's battery - which I assume your unit was also. We used a handheld speaker/mic/ptt combo as DanW mentioned.  

As to wiring it to your ship's speaker/boom_microphone/stick_ptt we never did that nor do I know how it could be done.  Unless there is a non-factory connector unseen in your photographs the only way to implement that is is via the two jacks on the face of the radio.  

I am unsure which pin-out of those jacks are (nor the size) but might be "easy" to figure out.  Maybe look for a speaker/mic listed on eBay or Amazon and cut the cable off it to use for connections to PTT/speaker/mic.

Bottom line is that the simplest thing to do is use a speaker/mic/ptt.  

Best of luck, John (OHM)
