[Elecraft] K3 - Adapter to plug cell phone mic into the K3

I have a microphone that fits in my Bose 
QC15 headsets and it works incredibly well 
with my cell phone. It's noise cancelling 
and everyone I talk with loves the sound 
quality over the cell phone mic.

I would need a Y connector that has an 
output for the headphones on the K3 and a 
2nd one with a mic plug for the K3. I have 
a female with a cable & bare wires at the 
end that I thought was for a mic but 
apparently it's for the headset and the 
internal connections don't match that for 
the mic.

The male plug is like a stereo mic; same 
overall length with the tip and first ring 
the same dimensions but instead of a long 
sleeve on the headphone plug, the sleeve 
is cut in half and there is a 2nd ring.

Anyone know of a good adapter that will 
fit this to the K3?

Thanks,

Gary
