[Elecraft] Hel Headset w/ K3

[David Ferrington, M0XDF]

Not sure if you order from Heil if you get an adapter with it, but the
Elecraft ProSet-K2 comes with an adapter to go in front Mic connector and it
has a 1/4" jack for PTT.

Note also that the Elecraft ProSet-K2 has an Electret mic (it's effectively
the Proset iC), whereas the Prosets from Heil have HC4 or HC5 elements.

Heil sell a foot switch and a hand switch - I have both and wasn't sure
which I preferred.
You could make one too if you wished.
There is also a PTT RCA connector on the rear panel, so you don't need to
use the front Mic connector.

BUT, I now have the Proset connected to the rear 3.5mm jacks for Phones and
Mic and use VOX, which is so good on the K3, no discernable delay in the
VOX.

I will probably keep the PTT etc. when I run JOTA, I need to keep control of
the PTT, so using a Heil HM-10 on a boom with a PTT switch works well.
