[Elecraft] K3 & Heil headset

[JBaumgarte at aol.com]

This is only if you feel the need to have PTT with the hand trigger.   I 
stick with VOX and just plug everything in to the back connectors.   Really 
neat and avoids the front clutter.  K3 vox is great.  Another  option might be 
to use a foot switch.

I have your set up and ask Heil this is there reply from  Bob Heil

"You will need the AD-1 K for the K3  (same pin out as  Kenwood).
The headphones are stereo and will work for dual reception PLU  
they have our exclusive Phase Reversal.  Great match for the  K3"

My new K3 works great on CW - love the way it sounds & the  intuitively
logical controls - but I'm trying to figure out what part I  need if any to
connect my Heil Pro headset, with a PTT hand trigger.   I see a larger 
stereo
plug coming from the PTT switch & a small one  coming from the heaset (1
wire), which currently go to a Yaesu adapter to  my old rig.  The other two
wires to the headset appear to be for the  earphones (small stereo plug).

Can I use "PTT IN", "STEREO PHONES"  & "MIC" on the back & just ignore the
8-pin connector on the  front?

Sorry if it is a dumb question.
