KX3 HI CUR warning and shutdown when headset is used

[Michael Minadeo]

Whenever the PHONES jack is connected to a headset the KX3 goes into a a HI CUR warning and then shuts down the radio. Have tried different headsets including the Elecraft AD-1-K with the same results. Not able to find any help in the manual, or web searchs. Any help would be appreciated, I am new to the KX3 and a new ham.

Thanks

Don't have a manual handy but look for Mic PTT and Mic Btns. Turn both OFF. These settings are in the list of Menu functions.

Mike,

Take a look at the plug on the microphone.  It MUST be a stereo type, or
it will try to activate PTT.

Do you have a 1/8 inch stereo plug with nothing connected to it?  If so,
plug it in and see if the same thing happens.  If not, then the problem
is with the mic or its plug.
