Re: [Elecraft] KX3 headset recommendation
Interesting to see this thread.. the K2 and K3 owned here have bags of audio transmit gain. This allows the heavy bass vowel sounds to be rolled off below about 300 hz. The KX3 seems to be slightly lacking in TX audio; the not-so-great fix here has been to construct a very small outboard single transistor mic amp. It is powered from a small 9 volt battery. I have tried using the mic bias directly to drive the mic preamp but got into rf feedback troubles. cheers Paul zl1ajy -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/KX3-headset-recommendation-tp7564383p757.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. __ 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
Re: [Elecraft] KX3 headset recommendation
You need the ACC2 breakout cable from Elecraft. The PTT switch from Aircraft Spruce just plugs straight into that. You need to configure the menu item to say you want the contact closure to enable PTT. 73, Christian AK4VV On Jul 12, 2013 3:48 AM, KF5TEU bha...@flexbrite.com wrote: I ordered the aircraftsp What headset/mic/adapter were you using ?

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 headset recommendation
O.K. I have the KPA100 ordered and the 500 hust got here so I will need the cable and I have it, came with my order as I addedvit in. I have the Heil headset as well for base use. So the PTT switch plugs into the ACC2 cable, that into ACC2 jack. Where are you using the mono 2.5mm headphone mono jack ? I have stereo headphones plugged into Phones. What are using for a mic, the little condenser type plugged directly into the Nic hack or a mic on the headsetvor what ? When menu is set to PTT kow , VOX isvoff then whenvyou push PTT does the mic become open for TX that iplugged in to Mic ? This means it has to be a buttonless nic ( no PTT ) so can I use a headset microphone like on standard cell phone or even Icom style ( different plug but maybe gain is high enough ) and just plug it's line into Mic ? 73 kF5TEU BillRichard Neese [via Elecraft] ml-node+s365791n7576670...@n2.nabble.com wrote:On 7/13/2013 10:28 AM, Christian AK4VV wrote: You need the ACC2 breakout cable from Elecraft.

[Elecraft] KX3 headset recommendation
Hi there. Any particular model of headset, to recommend for use with the KX3? Right now, I'm using a Plantronics .Audio 500 headset, which is nice because it has stereo RX (good for the KX3's audio effects) and it has convenient small analog connectors (perfectly compatible with the KX3). However, there's 2 drawbacks: 1) Not enough gain. I have the KX3 set to its maximum MIC gain of 40. Even with this, I'm not getting full voice modulation, at a comfortable speaking voice. I have to practically swallow the microphone, and then yell, in order to put out the full wattage. I have trouble lighting up all 5 bars of the ALC. Increasing the CMP level helps, but isn't a complete solution. I have CMP set to 20 now, having had it at the maximum of 30 before, but backed it down to get a little better sound quality. I know the headset microphone is sensitive and works well, because when used with the computer, it provides full volume at default settings, I even have to dial it down a bit to avoid saturation. I wonder what's different about the KX3 than a typical computer sound card, from the headset's point of view? Perhaps the wrong impedance? Sidetone is good, though, at level of 10. RX audio quality is great. I noticed the recent software upgrade increased the maximum allowed sidetone volume. I wonder if it's possible to increase the maximum allowed MIC gain similarly in software? Maybe have an overdrive feature, that shifts the bits left, so that even when the hardware is maxed out, software can still amplify it some more, at the cost of fidelity? Some cellphones have this, and it really helps to be heard. I tried both possible settings of MIC BIAS in the menu. Having None seemed to help a little, but it didn't make much of an overall difference. 2) No PTT button. I was hoping to use my CW straight key as PTT, but no such luck (I just sent another email about this). If I get another headset, I would like to get one with a button in the cord, that would be electrically compatible with what the KX3 expects. Any suggestions? Thanks!
