[Elecraft] Yamaha CM500/PPT Headset

[va3bxg at gmail.com]

Its the KX3 (sorry)

But for wiring, I am not in a position to do any construction. So all I am looking to do is use a CM500 with a PPT hand switch, and wondering what I still need aside from what is included with the headphone

The hand switch. And maybe the adapter?

Actually it does not matter.  No adapter is included with the K3 or 
KX3.  The KX3 will include a mic plug you can wire yourself.  It is a 
3.5mm 4 conductor plug.  There is a menu item to enable or disable the 
up/dn button signals provided by the MH3 mic.

I connected a standard 3 conductor audio cable that breaks down to two 
RCA connectors and use that to interface my CM500 and a PTT switch.
