[Elecraft] KX3 and PTT

[James Robbins]

Wayne,

 

I saw your below note on setting up a foot switch PTT via the ACC2 jack.  

 

As an alternative, and if I am not using the MH3, is there any problem to
accomplish the same PTT function by building a jumper from a TRRS 3.5mm plug
(into the MIC jack) to two mono in-line jacks where the pins of the plug are
split into the two which support the mic (tip and sleeve) and those which
support the PTT (ring 1 and ring 2)?  I'm planning to use a Heil
headphone/mic with a foot switch for home use.  

 

I, for one, am enjoying the exciting process of "birthing" the new KX3.

"Robert,

 

You can set up the ACC2 jack for use with a foot switch. Set MENU:ACC2 IO to
LO=PTT, and connect your footswitch between ACC2 tip contact and ground.
