The combination that scares me is plugging in an older headset like my Heil Proset which has a 1/4" phones plug. Through a bulky 1/4" to 1/8" adapter, there is a lot of mass hanging off the PHONES connector on the KX3. Sure wish the new cable package included a right-angle 3.5 male to 1/4" inline female. Or even a right-angle 3.5 male to 3.5 inline female. At least that would put the big, bulky stuff down on the desktop. You offer a right-angle audio-out connector for digital ops but not for CW and SSB ops!
