This is only if you feel the need to have PTT with the hand trigger. I stick with VOX and just plug everything in to the back connectors. Really neat and avoids the front clutter. K3 vox is great. Another option might be to use a foot switch. John, N0IJ In a message dated 3/21/2011 07:27:47 Central Standard Time, lcla...@nc.rr.com writes:
Kate I have your set up and ask Heil this is there reply from Bob Heil "You will need the AD-1 K for the K3 (same pin out as Kenwood). The headphones are stereo and will work for dual reception PLU they have our exclusive Phase Reversal. Great match for the K3" 73 Larry K1ZW -----Original Message----- From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net [mailto:elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of Kate Hutton Sent: Monday, March 21, 2011 12:50 AM To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: [Elecraft] K3 & Heil headset My new K3 works great on CW - love the way it sounds & the intuitively logical controls - but I'm trying to figure out what part I need if any to connect my Heil Pro headset, with a PTT hand trigger. I see a larger stereo plug coming from the PTT switch & a small one coming from the heaset (1 wire), which currently go to a Yaesu adapter to my old rig. The other two wires to the headset appear to be for the earphones (small stereo plug). Can I use "PTT IN", "STEREO PHONES" & "MIC" on the back & just ignore the 8-pin connector on the front? Sorry if it is a dumb question. 73 Kate K6HTN ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
