[Elecraft] KX3 Mic/Phone Adapter Question

[James Bennett]

I've got a KX3 that so far has only been used on CW or data, and have been using fairly bulky Sony headphones with it. Those phones work fine, but aren't exactly something I want to use in a portable / car camping environment. Yesterday while at Fry's electronics I saw a lightweight headset with attached mic that looked like a "junior" version of the Yamaha CM500 that I use with my K3. It has a single, 4-connector TRRS plug.

Does anyone know of a supplier of an adapter that breaks out the mic and audio into two separate cables/plugs like the CM500 has?

Or..... is there a lightweight "junior" version of the CM500 on the market - one that has two separate cables: mic and phones?

Thanks, Jim / W6JHB
