Headset PTT Options
Locked
 
|
All, At the risk of this request being lost in the euphoric response to the K3 K-Pod..... I'm wondering what options you might be using / prefer to provide the PTT function for a K3S connected headset. I know options including (1) VOX, (2) PTT button on an alternative plugged in microphone, (3) PTT pickle switch, (4) PTT foot switch. What about your preference for enabling several (ie pickle and foot switch) of these in parallel Mike VK1OO ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [hidden email] Cheers Mike VK1OO (ex AC7MZ, VK1KCK) K2: 2599 |

I don't understand your "in parallel" question. I have one foot switch plugged into the K3's rear panel PTT jack, and use it for the Heil GM-5 plugged into the MIC connector on the front panel, and for the Yamaha CM500 headset plugged into the rear panel MIC and PHONES jacks. The headphones are always on, but I can't hear the audio because the phones are clapped together while the speaker is on. I switch mics with MENU: MIC SEL, which also sets the high/low gain selection and mic bias on/off. The Heil mic cable originally was for a Yaesu plug (I think), but I diked-off the RJ connector, and installed a round Kenwood-style plug to match the K3's jack. I did not install a 1/4" phone jack near the round plug because the foot switch is plugged into the rear panel, and the GM-5's PTT button works without it. Now, why did you ask about PTT devices in parallel? -- 73, Mike N4CF Louisa County, VA USA Elecraft K3s/100 Carolina Windom up 45' http://n4cf.mdodd.com ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [hidden email] |

Both have RCA connectors and I use a "Y" cable to connect them to the PTT jack on the back of the K3. 73, ...

Both front PTT(in mic connector) and rear Phono jack are in parallel.
I use either VOX (for contesting) and a home-made PTT switch plugged into rear jack for other use. Under the "flap" are two SMD push buttons wired in parallel with a cable to rear PTT. Box is 3.5 X 4 inches and made on my 3D printer.
