Proset with Kenwood?

Nelson Wittstock
I just received the Heil Proset from Elecraft.  When my K3 arrives I plan to
use the headset with the K3.  Since I expect a rather long wait until my K3
arrives I am wondering if the headset can be used with my current TS-940
radio.  The earphones work but I don't want to try the microphone until I am
sure it is compatible with the 940.  The mike plug is physically proper but
I can't find a wiring diagram for the headset so I'm not sure about the
electrical correctness.  If the wiring is not a match can I wire up a simple
interface or isn't that practical?

Nelson, K8DJC

RE: Proset with Kenwood?

Joe Subich, W4TV

The Elecraft version of the Proset uses an electret mic that
will not work with a standard Kenwood mic input.  You will
need to add a resistor/capacitor network inside the Kenwood
radio or inside the Foster plug on the Proset adapter.
