Chuck,
The solution is easy (in my mind). Just plug the TRS plug into the
K3/K3S rear panel mic jack. That jack is a stereo type, but the ring is
not connected to anything. No adapter required.
If you want to use the front panel 8 pin Foster jack, you will have to
build you own adapter.
All microphones that are designed for computer (gaming) use have a TRS
plug - but the tip and ring are wired together. That includes the much
used CM500 headset and many others. Yes, when used with Heil adapters,
they will not work because the ring is shorted to the shell. The Heil
adapters are designed for mono plugs normally used on the Heil headsets.

I investigated the Heil Foster adapter and the shorted ring-sleeve is inside
the 1/8 inch phono jack. Not in the easily fixed Foster plug. So it cannot be

and reasonably priced gamer headsets?
