[Elecraft] KX3 and Heil Proset - IC PS-IC

[Don Wilhelm]

Dick,

The headphone part will work just fine.  For the mic part, I believe the 
plug on the mic is a mono plug which will activate PTT as soon as it is 
plugged in, so you will have to make up an adpater that wires jack tip 
to plug tip and jack shell to plug shell (no connection to the ring at 
the plug end).
If you want to add another 'tail' to attach a PTT switch, then it 
connects between the plug ring and the sleeve.

The elements are compatible and need to have bias turned on.

Note that a mono to stereo adapter that you can purchase in a store will 
probably not work because most of them wire both the tip and ring of the 
stereo end to the tip of the mono end.

73,
