[Elecraft] 2.5mm 3conductor RX I/Q to 3.5mm 3conductor soundcard line input cable

[Rick Tavan N6XI]

The combination that scares me is plugging in an older headset like my Heil
Proset which has a 1/4" phones plug. Through a bulky 1/4" to 1/8" adapter,
there is a lot of mass hanging off the PHONES connector on the KX3. Sure
wish the new cable package included a right-angle 3.5 male to 1/4" inline
female. Or even a right-angle 3.5 male to 3.5 inline female. At least that
would put the big, bulky stuff down on the desktop. You offer a right-angle
audio-out connector for digital ops but not for CW and SSB ops!
