"Hot" setup for Field Day with op headset, logger headphones, and speakers

Hi all,
With Field Day behind us, and since our club runs mostly K3's, I thought I'd ask if anyone had suggestions for the best way to configure the K3, use adapters, audio distribution box of some sort, etc., to allow for a headset for the operator, headphones for the logger, and speakers for the "gallery" to hear.
Thanks, Steve KO6L

Steve,

How about using the phone jack on front panel for one, back panel for
another and then set "SPKR+PH" to yes if you want the gallery to hear?

Several years ago I got a little box that takes an audio input and has four
sockets for headphones, each with its own volume control -- needs 12v
power. I think it's not available now, but Amazon has 5-way splitters for
cheap, not powered, and no volume control. Look for "headphone splitter".

The Williamsburg Area ARC (K4RC) has been doing this for the last 8 years. Works great. We find it easier to turn off Speaker if it gets too chaotic as it can with SSB & CW station back to back in a picnic shelter. Add a VHF on table next to CW and a GOTA not far away it gets real crazy!

If you use the MONitor for assistance for those using headphones, the
use of SPKR+PHONES will cause feedback from the speaker to microphone.
So, that is quite usable for CW and digital modes, but not good for SSB.
