[Elecraft] KX3 KXPA100 problem

[Elecraft] KX3/KXPA 100 PTT problem

I have an odd problem and I'm not sure what I am doing wrong or what is not set correctly. The KX3 combo will not key my Acom 2000a. it was working 160-20 but now seems to be fubar everywhere. I was using the rig/amp to generate 30-40w out put to drive the big amp. I'm not sure what I have

[Elecraft] Noise cancelling headphones

I've used the QC-15 and the are good. I had a headset buddy but the boom was "limp" it worked. I have a Uflymic for the QC15 if anyone has an interest. My choice now is the Bose QC25 and modmic by Antlion.  The QC25 has been replaced by the QC35 so you can get a "25" in an affordable range.
