VOX wiring?

A little background: A friend asked me to setup his radio like mine, to be able to play a sound board app (noise toy) on his phone and feed it into his radio. So I disconnected his P.A. jack and wired it to the 4 pin mic jack with a bluetooth receiver out the back. Works fine, but he now wants it to operate without keying the mic (and so would I) but I never thought about installing a VOX.

I noodled on the idea for a while and wonder if its even possible without using a switch, and without making the microphone voice operated as well, or is there a better way?

 

That's exactly how it works. The complaint about doing it this way is timing when to key the mic, too early is a dead key until it starts, too late you cut into the sound clip mid-sentence. The idea of using a vox would start transmitting as soon as the audio starts and ends independent of keying the mic.

 

That's not the goal, rather I use short funny/famous clips from movies or cartoons to make fun of other annoying cb'ers in a kind hearted way. You'd be surprised how often it works. example 'I ain't got no panties on' gets a clip of grandpa Simpson confused about how he got his underwear off without removing his pants. If thats worse than the no panties guy then I apologize.

 

Thanks handlebar, but I can't take credit for the rear jack, that was H&S Electronics, I only copied his work and added the bluetooth adapter.

Ideally he would only press the play button on his phone app, but I think I understand what your saying... preload the clip, then key the mic to unload it?
