Abstract: The system is a microphone mounting and control system for the hands-free operation of a microphone of a two-way radio by a driver of a vehicle. The system comprises a universal microphone holder, a flexible support member mounted to the interior roof of the vehicle for supporting the microphone holder, an electrically operated actuator for applying pressure to the trigger of the microphone and an electrical foot-operated switch for operating the actuator. The electrically operated actuator comprises a dual coil piston solenoid and an encased cable. The foot-operated switch activates the solenoid, thereby applying the activator against the trigger of the microphone. Hence, a driver is able to transmit a message through the microphone without the use of his hands for operating a trigger in the conventional prior art manner, which is highly undesirable in the event of an emergency situation.
