Re: [Elecraft] KX3 Headphone set up problem
The exact cable Wunder suggested is still available at Amazon for $4.95. They can probably thank him for some sales! I bought one. 73, Mark W7MLG On Fri, Jul 5, 2019 at 1:11 PM Don Wilhelm wrote: > Note carefully that Wunder specified a "SPLITTER" and that is different > than an 'adapter'. > > The more common mono to stereo adapter will NOT cure the condition. > > 73, > Don W3FPR > > On 7/5/2019 3:28 PM, Walter Underwood wrote: > > The mic plug is shorting the “mic button” (PTT) contact.

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 Headphone set up problem
Note carefully that Wunder specified a "SPLITTER" and that is different than an 'adapter'. The more common mono to stereo adapter will NOT cure the condition. 73, Don W3FPR On 7/5/2019 3:28 PM, Walter Underwood wrote: The mic plug is shorting the “mic button” (PTT) contact.

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 Headphone set up problem
The mic plug is shorting the “mic button” (PTT) contact. Set MIC BTN to OFF in the menus or use an off the shelf stereo to mono splitter. I described the latter in this blog post. The splitter also gives you cleaner mic bias and a PTT jack. https://observer.wunderwood.org/2015/08/16/yamaha-cm500-headset-with-ptt-on-elecraft-kx3/ wunder K6WRU Walter Underwood CM87wj http://observer.wunderwood.org/ (my blog) > On Jul 5, 2019, at 12:19 PM, Michael Heit via Elecraft > wrote: > > I bought the Heil headphone set up with my KX3 but have never been able to > get the mic to work right.
