Combining audio from two sources

[Thomas & Erin Skoropad]

Hello All,
Just contemplating combining audio from two sources into a
stereo headset. The sources would be a handheld scanner and a small
AM/FM Walkman. I presume some sort of mixer......? It would have to be
portable and light. Intended use would be for monitoring aircraft
frequencies while mowing a full size airstrip, and yet being able to
listen to music to aleviate the boredom. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

Now THAT sounds like a cool job.... Perfect for a scanner guy.

Go to ratshack and look at the y adapters and such. They have one that takes 2 earphone plugs and outputs to one - you could slap on
a gender changer and then plug the headphones into that. Probably a $15 or less investment to get all the parts and patch cables
required. Should do the trick.

Good solution -- that's what I've been using here.

The adapter has two mono mini phono plugs (1/8") and sends them to separate
channels to a stereo mini phono jack. The legs on the adapter are only about
three inches long so a mono extension cable may be necessary for one leg.

I use this system when I need to use headphones and listen to two radios
continuously. I also use it when I want to record two channels with
scanrec.exe. When I play back the recording I play back left and right
separately.
