Heil Headsets

[Elecraft mailing list]

Are the Heil Headsets sold by Elecraft compatible with KX3?   I read some issues people we’re having with Heil headsets in this forum.  I think someone mentioned that they are not compatible with KX3.   Is this true?

Heil headsets do not come with a plug that will plug into the mic jack of
most radios and key the PTT. The adapters are available from Heil or can be
easily put together yourself. I have always made my own. But first the KX3
in order to do PTT and provide clean audit you need to split a 3 stereo
plug to 2 mono Jack's. One connected across the top and sleeve and the
other across the ring and sleeve. I think Heil sells one, but I bought mine
off of Amazon for about $5. I could hardly buy the connectors for that.
There are many setting that need to be changed for the mic bias and button
functions as well. But you end up with a nice headset when you are done.
