I have the aircraft sounds assigned to the PC speakers and ATC communications to a wireless USB headset with mic.

I am looking for a wireless USB transciever(dongle) that will communicate to two headsets with mics. This will allow a second person (co-pilot) to listen to the ATC communications.

I have searched the internet but can't seem to find one. I'm sure they are out there.

Help!

you need a twin dongle to do that for a corded mic - not sure how you would do that with wireless.

Wired you're just splitting the signal to two headsets. To do this wirelessly, you'd either have to get too setups that allow you to split the signal with wires before it gets to the units that communicate with the headsets, or find a setup that specifically allows you to use two headsets. Either way you're getting into an expensive realm, I'd imagine.

There's a reason the headsets in cockpits are still wired: it's cheap, robust, and fairly flexible... you just gotta manage the cables. :-)

Why not just get to pairs of turtle beaches and split the audio before it gets to the little boxes that talk to the headset

Dual headsets on a wireless dongle is not duable. After researching and E-mailing with several well known headset manufacturers, none have or will have such a product. The frequency between the dongle and a headset is paired and only one headset can be paired. I think the reason for this is security, that is, you don't want your neighbor to listen in.

So, if I want a copilot to listen, I'll just hae to hook up my real world headsets and avoid getting tangled by the cables.
