[Elecraft] Bluetooth audio adapter for K3

[Dave Sublette]

This idea of putting headphones and mic on Bluetooth has interested me for some time.  Looking at the page on amazon, the 366-T device looks to be a transmitter only.  That would be fine.  You could hook it to the speaker or headphone output of the radio and buy a pair of Bluetooth headphones and listen just fine.  In order to use your mic (as with an headset/mic arrangement), you would need a transmitter on your headset and another receiver on the radio, plugged into the mic jack.  To use it, you would need to put the radio on VOX.

This brings visions of after market boxes strung all over the desk and one hung on your headset.  I don’t know what the RF from the headset Tx would do to you. Do these things transmit continuously?  I would be more comfortable with the idea if they only transmitted when you were talking on the radio.

I am not up on all the latest gadgetry.  Maybe someone can educate me.
