interrupteur d'émission / PP actionné par le pied Explanation: Try GDT for some ideas for the PTT part -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 4 heures (2014-10-23 16:46:12 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- The 'talk' part is built-in to the technical expression! PTT or Push To Talk means the button you press to make yur radio go into 'transmit' — this is covered in my suggested FR answer by the 'émission' part. In FR, the PP = 'pression parole', which is the exact equivalment of the EN PPT. So either of my suggested versions does indeed completely encompass the notion of 'push to talk'! |

micro activé au pied Explanation: "foot push to talk" is the name for the whole system/concept - when you need to talk (presumably in a microphone) you have to push a button that is under your foot; the piece of hardware used to materialize this concept is a (foot activated) push button; to get it 100% right you need to find out if it's an on/off switch or a button that you have to keep pressed as long as you want to talk in the mike. |
