[Elecraft] OT: Stereo to mono adapters

[James Sarte (K2QI)]

Hi Ken,

That is not my intent.  What I'm trying to do is combine both L&R audio
channels from the K3's phone output into a mono signal.  That mono signal
will then go into my BHI ANEM which only accepts a mono input.  The ANEM's
output is also mono.  I then want to be able to connect my stereo headphones
into the ANEM and still get audio out of the L&R cans rather than just one.

I can't seem to determine exactly what adapter is required.  Is it a mono
plug to stereo jack, or stereo jack to mono plug?

I have one of these, which is a stereo plug to mono jack adapter, but mixes
both L&R sources into a single channel:

I'm assuming then that I'll need this, which is a mono plug to stereo jack:

I also assume that it's safe to bridge both L&R channels from the front or
rear phone (not SPKR) jacks?
