[Elecraft] Aviation Headset and the KX3

[Jack Spitznagel]

George,

Thanks for posting this suggestion. It took a while for me to get a 
"rountuit" and order one of these. I found it for slightly less from 
Aircraft Spruce. I am using the PA-96 adapter with a Sennheiser S1 noise 
cancelling headset that works beautifully for me by assisting my failing 
ears. I probably need to shape the transmit audio a bit, but have had no 
complaints yet.

> Hi GangI love using a Heil headset with the KX3 but wanted to try something with a little more build quality.I have my old Bose X Aviation headset from my flying days and set them up for the General Aviation plugs. They are really comfortable well made and have active noise canceling built in. I have used computer headsets with the K3 and the KX3 in the past and they have worked fine.I tried this adapter from sportys.comhttps://www.sportys.com/pilotshop/general-aviation-twin-plugs-to-pc-headset-adapter.html?___SID=U
> It works fine with the KX3 and I get good audio reports. Just remember to unplug it after use as the plugs are the power switch for the adapter. Its a lot of cable but the adapter is solidly built and looks like it would last a good long time. You need to turn on the bias in the KX3 for any pc headset to work. Im sure David Clark GA headsets would work as well but I haven't tried them yet. Im tired of the old Head clamps anyway.
