Rugged Radios Crew Chief H42 Spotter Headset and Radio Package

Crew chiefs and spotters need to communicate at the track while managing radio volume and transmissions around race noise. Universal fit - not built for one specific make or model, so confirm mounting space and wiring on your machine before ordering. The Crew Chief package connects an H42 behind-the-head headset to a Rugged Radios handheld radio with a coiled cable. Transmit from the headset or radio PTT and adjust listening volume at the headset.
