[Elecraft] switchbox KX3 to signalink/mike+headphones

[Brian Hunt]

Pretty simple home brew project, I would think. Four stereo jacks, a DPDT switch, a small box and a capacitor should do it. The capacitor is to block the mic bias from going to the Signalink. You would still likely have to adjust levels whenever switching. Would take some study to get all the connections right.
