Agree... the adapter has a PTT input. I was planning on making a
"box", the adapter is easier. and yes, VOX works and have used cheap
headset/VOX and have used HC4 Heil headset/VOX too. PTT has advantage
of not TXing when you don't want...
I tried the splitter cable (I may have gotten the
I’m sure that is a nice cable, but if you just want to plug a 1/8 inch mic plug
into the KX3, an off-the-shelf $6 stereo to mono splitter will do the same job.
I figured that out while drawing out the schematic for an adapter box. Details

If your Heil mic has a Dynamic element be sure and turn OFF the Bias.
I’d like to see Heil market a headset with plugs for KX3/2 radios.

Hello Carter,
Every Heil headset that I know about has a mono microphone plug. If you
plug it into the KX2 or KX3 mic jack, PTT will be activated unless you
set MIC BTN to OFF - putting the radio into transmit.
See the KX2 manual page 20 for SSB operation. For the KX2, VOX MD must
be set
Thanks so much for the help setting up my KX2 to use VOX.
Here are the the settings I finally settled on:
VOX GN: 60
VOX MD: ON
VOX DLY: 0.02
MIC BIAS: OFF
MIC BTN: OFF
I think had tried these settings before, but this last time they worked, and
the VOX icon showed on my screen.
Thanks
Hi again, Jim!
No joy, Jim,
But many thanks for your suggestions. I set the Mic BTN to Off, and set the Mic
BTN to On.
Perhaps some others may be able to help me.

For these kinds of questions, I download the manual, open it in Adobe Reader,
and search it. You might be able to search it in your browser.
SSB VOX setup is described on page 20 of the KX2 Owner’s Manual.

Thanks, Jim. I think I have tried turning the MIK BTN to Off, but I will try
that again.
Should doing that allow me to see “VOX” on my screen?
Thanks for the help.

First thing is to turn the microphone buttons off. Am at work now. But it
seems like the parameter comes up under "MIK BTTN" or something like that.
You need to shut them all off, as well as the bias if not using an
Icom/Heil Mike. Other choice is to buy or make a splitter and use a PTT
switch.
Hi Fellow Elecrafters,
For the life of me I just cannot figure out how to set up VOX on my KX2 and
KX3. I cannot seem to get the VOX annunciation to show on my screen...at
all. So I need help with this first.
Next I need to know the Menu settings for using a Heil Headset. Are the
settings the
