HB-3plus Headset Adaptor Box 1
1 General
The Vega HB-3PLUS Headset Interface Box is a reliable method for connecting a desk microphone,
headsets and footswitch controls to any computer running Vega’s C-Soft program or any Vega dispatch
console. A bi-color front panel LED indicates power (green) or active PTT (red).
The HB-3PLUS connects directly to the handset jack of the dispatch control console or a PC operating
with the Vega C-Soft dispatch software. In the console mode, an RJ-H 4 conductor cable provides the
connection from the HB-3PLUS to the console. Connections to the PC serial port and sound card provide
PTT, monitor, relay and Aux input control in the PC mode.
The HB-3PLUS also provides a connection to any telephone device with a NENA I/O port, allowing for a
single headset to be shared by the radio and phone system. When the phone set is taken off-hook, the
headset microphone audio is routed to the phone system and selected radio is transferred back to the
SELECT speaker. Telephone audio is routed to the headset as long as the system is off-hook.

audio is routed to the console jack (J1) for connection to the handset jack of any Vega consoles using the
supplied 4-pin modular cable.
Headset I TX audio is amplified for connection to either the console or NENA interface, during radio PTT
the TX audio and PTT signals are sent to the console. If the NENA interface is OFF-Hook, The HB3PLUS signals the console and SELECT audio is routed to the console speaker. The NENA RX audio is
routed to the headset earpiece and the headset microphone is routed to the to the NENA TX circuit, if
PTT is pressed the headset microphone is switched to the console TX circuit and console PTT is applied.
4.2 PC Mode
With JMP8 in the “A” position the HB-3PLUS will operate in the PC mode. All PTT and Monitor actions
are routed to the serial port and sent to the PC as serial commands. Headset and desk microphone
audio is routed to the MIC OUT jack.
Headset I TX audio may be switched to either the PC or NENA interface. While radio PTT is active, the
TX audio and PTT signals are sent to the PC. If the NENA interface is OFF-Hook, Selected radio RX
audio is switched to the PC speaker. With radio PTT not active, The NENA RX audio is routed to the
headset earpiece and the headset microphone is routed to the to the NENA TX circuit. When radio PTT is
pressed the headset microphone is coupled to the PC MIC OUT circuit and PTT serial command is
applied to the PC.
