matadormike Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Apologies if this is in the wrong place, I'm looking to install a basic intercom (driver to commander, not a full radio fit) in my Spartan and I was wondering if anyone could advise me which parts I'd need to order? (And what connects to what if possible) I'm thinking this would be suitable with a couple of headsets? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CLANSMAN-MILITARY-Vehicle-IB2-INTERCOM-HARNESS-SYSTEM-/310644265463?pt=UK_Collectables_Militaria_LE&hash=item4853d751f7 I take it if I just install the basic intercom there aren't any radio frequency/licence issues? Thanks in advance Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timbo Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 Mike That will do the trick for you and you wont have any licencing problems. I have dealt with Doug in the past and found him very good, lots of advice etc... Cheers Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

g0ozs Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 I can confirm that this will do what you need without any radios present. Just connect a 12-way cable linking the IB2 to each CB2 and connect headsets to the crew boxes - headsets go in crew boxes and all switches set to intercom. Make sure that all of the boxes are securely grounded to the vehicle body rather than depend on the ground lead in the harness cable by itself. I notice that the boxes in the listing photo have black front panels (so are earlier non-ANR automatic noise reduction ones) and need to be used with headsets having the older style black pressil boxes - I seem to remember that the gold ANR boxes will work with either black non-ANR or green ANR pressils, but only black work with the original boxes (because ANR need a power feed from the box). Worth checking if Doug can supply ANR from stock before ordering ? Regards Iain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timbo Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 He certainly supplied me with the gold ones so I would imagine he could still do this... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matadormike Posted July 23, 2013 Author Share Posted July 23, 2013 Thanks guys, very thorough. :thanx: I've placed an order so I'll see how things go. Cheers Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andym Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 The difference between the black and green pressels is that the green ones have an extra core to pass power to the headset. So if you have ANR boxes and headsets, you MUST use green pressels. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
