I use a Yaesu MD100 desk Mic with my K-3. It is connected to the front
microphone socket currently. I'm a quadriplegic in a wheelchair which prevents
me from getting as close to the microphone as I would like to. I would like to
mount my current microphone on a boom or gooseneck and continue to use the PTT
and lock button on the base of the MD100. I can operate those buttons fine.
Question one: is there any way to make a cable, or is one currently available
commercially, that would screw into where the microphone screws into the base
of the MD 100 ? Is there a coupling I could use ? Thus I could use the buttons
on the base.If that is not possible, I could just unscrew the microphone, get a
microphone cable that fits the K-3. I could then have someone make a simple
switch that would plug into the PTT socket in the back of the K-3. Any
recommendations on such a cable. That way I would not need to purchase a new
microphone. The MD100 works fine.
If it's not possible to continue using the MD100, I assume other microphones
and cords are compatible with the K-3. Then I can purchase a desk switch or
have someone make one.
Appreciate any insight,
