[KX3] Easily Swap From Voice to Data

Is there some kind of switch or other device available to easily swap between voice and data on the KX3?

My GoogleFu skills are apparently not very good. I get all kinds of links on data or voice but I cannot seem to find exactly what I’m looking for.

Thanks,
Joel - W4JBB

Re: [KX3] Easily Swap From Voice to Data

Hi Joe,

I had the same requirement, as I frequently switch between SSB and WSJT modes with my KX3.

It is unfortunate that the KX3 has no separate Data audio input port and plugging unplugging the Microphone every time is very tedious.

So, I had to build my own data/ mic switch box, which gives me a choice of either a desk or fist microphone, a headset microphone with foot switch PTT, or data from sound interface. It also means that when my "data" switch is in the "mic" position the computer has no way of enabling the PTT by mistake when the computer is starting up and it "ackles" the com ports.

It was but an afternoon's work to make this simple box with a couple of switches, and some jack sockets.

Check with MFJ - at one time they had a box that might work (with
the appropriate cable adapters).
