Avionics audio has the same problem to cope with: Intercom during non-keyed periods, to headsets - maybe as many as four or six.
There are little $100 to $200 protable intercom boxes that can be rigged for this. I have one, although I don't know if it would work with dynamic mics or not. If i remember correctly, aviation mics are carbon. I am pretty sure that the sockets are the old 1/4" telco patch type, so might need to be replaced. Sigtronics is one vendor, there are several others that are well-known. 73, matt W6NIA On Mon, 16 May 2011 10:25:29 -0400, you wrote: >HI, > >One of the features that helped sell me on the K3 was the ability to >have two sets of headphones connected without external splitters, and >have the speaker 'on' as well.
