I've heard good things about the Yamaha CM500 for the Elecraft K3.  It also
is quite attractively priced.  However, I noted that it has two connectors,
presumably one each for mic and headphones, mono and stereo respectively.

However, my K3 is setup as follows:

Line in    |
Line out  | -----> goes to my SignaLink USB

Speaker Out ---> Goes to a beautiful pair of logitech speakers that make
the AFX quite dramatic, and I love that setup.  You can see it on my QRZ
page here:

So, what are my options for using the CM500?  What are others using?
Should I just build a cable adapter for the front panel mic connector?
Seems like a kludge and therefore might steer me to the Heil setup.

Thoughts?

Thanks and 73,
Chris - K1AY
