So, then, this begs a question. I have a K3 with an Ameritron AL-811H. I key the K3 with a Heil foot switch connected to a Heil ProSet 5. When I tried keying my amp off the red cable on the foot switch, I didn't get any amp keying. When I connected an RCA phono cable between the K3's key ou

I have been given a Heil Pro Set Plus Headphone and want to be sure to plug it in correctly at the back of the K3 and set the configuration correctly in the radio. The Pro set has two cables, one, a 1/8 inch mono plug and a 1/8 inch stereo plug. Where do each of these go? The K3 is set up with a
