EARMOR M56 DUALCOMM PTT Module – Kenwood 2-pin

EARMOR M56 DUALCOMM PTT Military Module

The M56 DUALCOMM PTT module is designed for squad leaders and commanders because it allows simultaneous operation of two radios, for example one dedicated to team communication and the other to command headquarters. Simply connect it between your radios and a headset equipped with a Nexus TP-120 connector, and you'll have instant communication control via separate PTT buttons for each radio. The large PTT buttons provide excellent tactile feedback and are easy to operate even while wearing gloves, making them ideal during movement and stressful combat situations. The housing is made from durable polymer, providing excellent toughness without adding unnecessary weight to your gear. On the back, you'll find a heavy-duty metal clip that securely attaches the PTT to MOLLE webbing, belts, or other gear, keeping it always within easy reach. The unit is primarily designed for EARMOR headsets. It may also work with other TP-120-equipped headsets, although compatibility cannot be guaranteed. It is not compatible with Z-Tactical, TAC-SKY, or Element products.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Will it work with the Baofeng UV-5R?

Yes. The Kenwood 2-pin connector is designed specifically for radios like the UV-5R. It is also compatible with most clones and similar models from Wouxun and Retevis.

Will it work with headsets from other brands?

If they use a genuine Nexus TP-120 (NATO standard) connector, there's a good chance they will. However, lower-cost brands such as Z-Tac or Element often use different wiring, so compatibility may be limited or unavailable.

What is DUALCOMM used for?

DUALCOMM allows you to operate two radios independently using a single headset. It's ideal for squad leaders who need to communicate with both their team and command simultaneously, with a dedicated PTT button for each radio.

Where should I mount the PTT on my gear?

Ideally, mount it on your vest's shoulder strap where you can reach it without looking. A common mistake is placing it too low or too far to the side, which slows communication during action. The PTT should be mounted on the opposite side from your shooting shoulder—for example, if you shoulder your rifle on the right, mount the PTT on the left.
