Wayne previously described the KX3 MH3 mic and connector (on another list)
thus: "The mic jack is different from the other 1/8th-inch (3.5 mm) jacks. It has 4 conductors, allowing for PTT/UP/DOWN, mic audio, and a separate shield ground to prevent "hot mic" syndrome. The mic is full custom, with a 4-pin right-angle plug." -Bruce, N1RX Steve KC8QVO wrote: <snip> > I am going to hold off on the mic. I will see if I can home brew one.

Once the pin out of the jack is published, you could make your own adapter
for whichever headset/microphone you desire. The headphone jack is separate from the mic jack (i.e.- there is no audio out available on just the mic jack).

A right angle 4 circuit 3.5mm plug is available from Mouser for around 3 bucks.
>From the manufacturer website: 4 Conductor Right Angle Stereo Plug 171-6435-EX The only functions not supported would be up/down buttons as the Elecraft microphone uses a resistive divider scheme (similar to YHaesu, I think) to carry on only 4 pins. It may, of course, also be possible to integrate the divider circuitry in your microphone (if it has up/down buttons) John, N6AX On Wed Dec 28 16:44 , "Bruce Beford" sent: >Once the pin out of the jack is published, you could make your own adapter >for whichever headset/microphone you desire.
