The XMIT switch would be used with any 3-circuit mic, such as the one from Fry's. This switch is about 1" from the mic jack and convenient to use. > > In view of the fact that a 4-circuit has the (assumed) ground, mic > audio/bias, PTT and up-down functions, could it not have been possible > to "allow" a person to use a 3-circuit plug, and enjoy the normal > (expected) functions of mic-with-PTT, and "ignore" the up-down > functions? It would certainly be possible to create a small adapter that brings PTT out separately, or rewire a mic with a 3-circuit plug to work with the KX3's PTT line. We could also allow reuse of a different I/O pin for PTT with a menu entry. UP/DN function conflicts (voltage levels) could be resolved by setting MENU:MIC BTN to OFF. This will evolve further as needed based on customer feedback, such as yours. > 73, Wayne N6KR ______________________________________________________________ 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
