using Proset-K2 with KX3

[David F. Reed-2]

I must be doing something wrong, but I can't seem to use my Proset-K2
with my KX3...

The headphones work fine, but plugging the microphone into the mic input
puts the KX3 into transmit mode; I had expected to use the XMIT button
on the KX3 to transmit.

Ideas?

I should have mentioned VOX would be okay to use too, and the Proset-K2
works fine (with its adapter) on my K3...

It is just this go to XMIT when plugged in (and stays there) is what is
getting to me...

Check the manual and menu items for MIC BTN (mic button).

Go into the MENU and look for MIC BTN or something similar.  Turn them
OFF.  The middle two rings on the 4-way plug are for the UP/DN Buttons
on the mic and PTT.  Your 3-way plug is shorting the PTT to ground.  
Turn OFF the buttons, and you Proset will work fine using XMIT or VOX.
