[Elecraft] W2ENY headsets for kenwood radios ( K3)

[Don Wilhelm]

Kieth,

The answer is 'it all depends'.  You will have to do some checking of 
the information about that particular mic.
Look at the microphone pinout information.  If either pins 5 or 6 are 
used, then that particular Kenwood microphone is *not* compatible with 
the K3.  If pins 5 and 6 have No Connection, then that Kenwood mic can 
be used by the K3.

In general, a Kenwood dynamic mic that does not have an internal 
preamplifier usually meets the compatibility criteria, but Kenwood 
Electret mics and those with an internal preamp will not work.

73,
Don W3FPR
