Bob,
The CM500 will plug right into the KX3. You can use VOX, or tap the
XMIT button for T/R switching.
You also could create an adapter to pull the PTT line out from the ring
of the mic plug.

Can you use the Yamaha CM-500 head set with the KX-3? I use this headset
with my K3/100. It works very well with this radio. I believe the CM-500
came with some kind of adaptor plug for the mic input (1/8 to 1/4 or vice
versa?). I don't believe the speaker plug will be a problem using this
headset with the KX-3. I know that Elecraft sells a Heil Pro-headset with
the proper adapter plugs for the KX-3, but it is much more expensive than
the Yamaha CM-500. Does the main VFO knob on the KX-3 have a nicer feel than
the K3?
I would also like to hear some feedback from the new users of the KX-3. How
do you like the RX, DSP filtering, how does the KX-3 RX compares ot the K3
etc? Thanks for your help.
