David Clark H10-76 Conversion Kit – How to (H10-76XL)

by CpU on Apr.11, 2010, under Acousticom, Advice, Aviation, Aviation Headset, Education, Random

Do you have an old David Clark H10-76 or David Clark H10-76XL laying around from your years in the military? Or you can buy a H10-76 for cheap off eBay.

david-clark-h10-76-and-h10-76xl

Wouldn’t it be nice if you could turn that nice DC Headset into an aviation headset for less then 80 bucks?

If you are ready to convert your David Clark military headset to civilian aviation, then follow these steps.

H10-76-Conversion-Kit-Amplified_Electret_David_Clark_M7-Aviation_Microphone Step 1:
You will need to buy a few things to make sure the headset will work in your aircraft correctly. Because military headsets are low impedance and aviation headsets are high impedance, we must first obtain the right microphone impedance.

A 150 Ohm amplified electret microphone will do the trick!

Now you may also need to convert the U-174/U connector on the headset to the two plug PJ-055 and PJ-068 connectors. If you are in a Helicopter, this step is not necessary.

Some may need to replace the earphones. Military headset earphones are low impedance and that can sometimes cause malfunction with other standard high-impedance headsets.

By converting the 19 Ohm earphones to 300 Ohm earphones, you achieve a full conversion for the H10-76 headset.

h10-76-conversion-kit-u-174-u-to-aviation-plugs-pj-055-pj-068h10-76-conversion-kit-earphones
acousticom2 Now where do you buy these things as a kit?Well Acousticom would be the cheapest place, but many websites supply their versions on this kit.

Acousticom offers three versions:
1. H10-76 Conversion Kit ($72)
2. H10-76 Conversion Kit Plus ($120)
3. H10-76 Conversion Kit Deluxe ($150)

H10-76 Conversion Kit ($72)
This is the basic kit.

You will get:
(1) 150 Ohm Amplified Electret Mic
(1) U-174/U to Aviation Adapter

This would be for someone who is converting the H10-76(XL) to a civilian airplane that flies alone.

The earphones have not been converted to high-impedance yet, so some pilots may report a malfunction when using more then 1 headset in the aircraft.

david-clark-h10-76-conversion-kit
david-clark-h10-76-conversion-kit-plus H10-76 Conversion Kit Plus ($120)
This is the full conversion kit for the H10-76 David Clark headset.

You will get:
(1) 150 Ohm Amplified Electret Mic
(1) U-174/U to Aviation Adapter
(2) 300 Ohm Earphones

With the full conversion, you have a fully functional Aviation headset for less then buying a new one.

H10-76 Conversion Kit Deluxe ($150)
This is the full conversion kit with boom upgrade for the H10-76 David Clark headset.

You will get:
(1) 150 Ohm Amplified Electret Mic
(1) U-174/U to Aviation Adapter
(2) 300 Ohm Earphones
(1) 1/2 Flex 1/2 Wire Boom

With this conversion kit plus upgrade you now have a high end headset. You never knew that your old military headset could be used for something.

david-clark-h10-76-conversion-deluxe
david-clark-h10-76-boom-upgrade-half-flex-half-wire-aviation-headset-boom
Step 2:
You will now need to install the kit into your headset. Each item has screws that loosen the leads to the element. You will need a small screw driver (similar to ones you use on glasses) to replace the microphone and earphone elements.

Plug the headset into the adapter, and then that’s it! You are all done.

1st Financial Bank USA Overlimit Fee Refund Check in the mail!

by CpU on Jan.25, 2010, under Random

So today I received this letter from an old credit card that I use to have back when I was in college.

The enclosed check is being sent to you because you are either a current or former holder of a credit card issued by 1st Financial Bank USA (”Bank”). The enclosed check represents the application to your account of a refund of an overlimit fee that was previously charged to your account, plus interest. The bank has agreed to make this payment to you as part of a settlement with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The payment to your account resulted in a credit balance in the amount of the enclosed check. Please cash or deposit this check within 360 days from the date this check was issued or it will no longer be valid.

$37.75 isn’t a bad gift in the mail. Way to go Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation!
