[Elecraft] Footswitch Connection on K3

If you want one made for just what you want it for Heil has 2 modules to
choose from. I always keep a spare one of them in the shack just in case
like the time a new pup chewed the cable in half just as a contest was
starting. I pulled out the spare and used it till I repaired the other one.
They are good quality and have a key line also if needed.

If your mike has a XLR connector, I purchased a cable from Heil and it has a
female jack for the switch. I use it with my RE27. I chose to use the hand
switch but I think he sells the foot switch as well.

That is what I do.  It gives me control over other things, as well. 

But, it does depend on your microphone type.  Some have contacts for the
audio built into the PTT switch on the mic.  Other mics do not have audio
contacts, only a switch for PTT. Some mics do not have a PTT switch at all.

  Good Afternoon once again. I do know that the footswitch is connected to
the PTT In on the back of the K3.  But can I still have the microphone
connected in the front jack and use the footswitch to key the tranmitter and
talk through the microphone? Sorry for all the dumb questions.  Mark KB3Z
