Mic connector for Yamaha CM500 on K3

Before I order the headset, I am curious as to what mic connector is provided if any? I am supposing an 8 pin connector is a required purchase for my K3, correct?

It has two 1/8" stereo plugs. One is for the headphone and one plugs into the rear of the K3 in the mic jack.

You can plug the Yamaha CM500 microphone and headphone 3.5mm plugs directly
into 3.5mm jacks on the back panel, and use the K3's SPKR+PH capability
(which I have set up as PF1) to turn the speaker on and off. The K3 has a
back panel RCA connector that you may use for something like a foot switch,
if you prefer PTT.

If you prefer a front panel microphone/headset connection, the Yamaha CM500
comes with a 3.5mm to 1/4" phone plug adapter, and you can use something
like the Heil Sound AD-1-K adapter (or a home-brew equivalent) that has an 8
pin foster plug, a 3.5mm jack for the microphone, and a 1/4" mono jack for a
footswitch like the Heil Sound FS-3. I prefer to keep the footswitch
connector on the back panel, even if I'm using a front panel headset.

Griff,

For the K3, nothing is needed, just plug the 3.5mm stereo connectors
into the rear panel mic and phones jacks. Set the microphone menu for
rear panel with bias.

Phil,

To match the Yamaha CM-500 to the K2, you can purchase the adapter used
with the Proset-K2 - and wire the microphone configuration header just
as for the Elecraft MH2 microphone - all pins jumper straight across and
add the 5.6k bias resistor between mic jack pins 1 and 6.

I thought I had the part number for the adapter without the microphone,
but I cannot find it, perhaps someone else will supply it.

Of course, an adapter should not be difficult to build yourself with a
Foster plug and 2 jacks (one for the microphone and another for the PTT
input jack.

Re: Mic connector for Yamaha CM500 on K3

Heil Sound AD-1-K is the "red" adapter that has an 8-pin "Foster" microphone
connector, a 3.5 mm mono ack for the microphone, and a 1/4" mono jack for a
footswitch. It's suitable for a K3 as well as a K2 if you wire the
microphone configuration header appropriately.

The picture has the wrong color (it's really red), but this is the general
look of the adapter: http://www.hamradio.com/detail.cfm?pid=H0-003264
