[Carl Jón Denbow]

That obviously should be "now that I look at the layout."  not "not"! :-)

> Heil makes AD-1 for Drake, icom, Kenwood / Elecraft, Ten-Tec, and 
> Yaesu. They vary by color. You want the RED one. Kenwood and Elecraft 
> use the same 8-pin Foster connector pin arrangement. Heil lists this 
> as "Kenwood".

> I find the K3 front panel a bit busy with the AD1-K, a 3.5mm to 1/4" 
> adapter for the headset, and 1/4" PTT plug/jack combination for a 
> footswitch. Putting all this on the back panel helps keep things 
> neater. Sometimes headset cord length becomes an issue, though.
