[Elecraft] CM500 headset on K3S and KX3?

[Bert]

I like 1/4 inch plugs too, but most rigs nowadays have 3.5mm jacks!
You can use an adapter, but that forfeits the purpose.

I searched HRO and they had stock, if you knew the part number.  I now have a new Headset...  I DO like the HC4 element and the cotton ear pads...
