Hi All,

I've had an idea, and I'm trying to figure out how hard it would be to
throw together a prototype to see if it'd be useful. The basic idea is
a sort of wireless headset extender. This device would sit in between
a specific wired headset and its base station and provide
"wanderability". My initial thought was to use a WT32 module from
BlueGiga as I've used their WT12 module before and they work quite
nicely. An added advantage of this is that the system would be using
standard Bluetooth profiles, so phase I could be a transmitter with a
standard Bluetooth headset used on the person side of things. Then a
custom headset with larger battery, controls, etc could be added
later.

However...full Bluetooth capability is mostly overkill. So is there a
simpler solution anyone can come up with? I'd be looking for a system
that can transmit and receive a mono signal in each direction
simultaneously. This isn't HiFi, but needs to be decent enough that
the signal is intelligible across a large range of background noise.
Range is 20-30 feet (more is a plus though). I'm trying to keep the
complexity down, so a module or at the very least a chip that didn't
require external ADC and DAC would be nice.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

Josh

completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete
fools.
