[Elecraft] switchbox KX3 to signalink/mike+headphones

[Louandzip]

 I built something like that using two 2 pole 4 position wafer switches to switch between 4 radios.  One switch is for the input, and the the other for the audio output.  I also put a 2 pole 2 throw toggle switch in the audio output to switch between phones and a small audio amplifier driving a spkr. You can see it in my QRZ.com photo mounted under the shelf below the Daiwa meter.

It would take a four pole double throw (mic, PTT, L Audio, R Audio)
or two DPDT switches.

You would still likely have to adjust levels whenever switching. Would take some study to get all the connections right.
