In other words, connect the soundcard stereo plug to only the shell and tip of another jack and use that adapter between your soundcard audio out cable and the KX3 microphone jack. If you want to use PTT, you can bring out the ring contact to operate from whatever source you are deriving the PTT signal.

You don’t need to build an adaptor. A standard stereo to mono splitter will do the job. Plug into the left channel of the splitter, then plug the splitter into the KX3. See the details in this blog post.
