Can I use Two Headsets Simultaneously on the K3?

[Paul Levin]

Gentlemen,

My XYL and I are planning to operate together in some up coming contests and on Field Day. She has a Heil headset which would be hooked up to the K3 via the front headphone jack and the 8-pin mic connector. I have a set of Yamaha CM-500 which I'd like to connect to the K3 via the back connections. Transmit would be controlled by VOX. Can this be done? What menu settings would I need to set to hear through both? Would only one set be allowable to be hooked up to input at a time? (Only one person will be transmitting at a time while the other is logging.) Your thoughts and recommendations please.

Thanks

Paul,

The K3 drives both phone jacks simultaneously.

You select the Tx audio source via

MENU:MIC SEL

In addition, the mic levels will be significantly different (unless the
Heil is the Proset-K3).  The normal Heil ProSet is a low level dynamic
mic (no DC) and the CM-500 is a high level electret mic (needs bias).
