[Elecraft] KX3 headset recommendation

[KF5TEU]

O.K.
I have the KPA100 ordered and the 500 hust got here so I will need the cable and I have it, came with my order as I addedvit in.
I have the Heil headset as well for base use.
So the PTT switch plugs into the ACC2 cable, that into ACC2 jack.
Where are you using the mono 2.5mm headphone mono jack ?
I have stereo headphones plugged into Phones.

What are using for a mic, the little condenser type plugged directly into the Nic hack or a mic on the headsetvor what ?
When menu is set to PTT kow , VOX isvoff then whenvyou push PTT does the mic become open for TX  that iplugged in to Mic ?
This means it has to be a buttonless nic ( no PTT ) so can I use a headset microphone like on standard cell phone or even Icom style ( different plug but maybe gain is high enough ) and just plug it's line into Mic ?

you dont need the breakout cable to put a foot/hand ptt switch. you need 
a mono 2.5 mm headphone jack. and you need to fo into the menu and put 
the acc2 port into ptt_low. 

but if you plan to use a ptt and the amp then you need the breakout cable

    The KX3-PCKT cable set interfaces between the Elecraft KX3 and 
    personal computers, and provides convenient connection to an 
    external foot switch and RF power amplifier./KX3-PCKT Instructions/
