[Elecraft] KX[2/3] adapter for iPhone-type earbuds & mic? (was: Heil Head Set Question...)

[Walter Underwood]

I bought a splitter made for that purpose, but I have not had the time to check it out.

Some lightweight computer headsets might be a good choice. I use earbuds and the MH3 hand mic.

With either the headsets or the earbud splitter, you could use yet another splitter to bring out PTT. At that point, building a box might be worth it. Here is info on bringing splitting out the PTT.
