Bruce,
Unless Heil has changed the Kenwood adapter, it should work fine.
Test your adapter - put a bare stereo plug into the adapter and use your
DMM. Pin 1 should connect to the tip of the stereo plug. The shell of
the stereo plug should connect to either pin 7 or pin 8 (or both) and
the ring of the stereo plug should connect to either nothing or to pin 1
(but *not* connect to either pin 7 or pin 8).
If those tests are OK, it should work - set the Mic Sel menu to FPL.bias
and adjust the mic gain to indicate 5 to 7 bars on the ALC meter.

Recently purchased a Yamaha CM500 headset with a Heil AD-1-K headset adaptor
for Kenwood (the red one). I love the headset, much cheaper than the Heil
and performs about the same, IMHO.
The only way I managed to get the mic to work was through the rear jack
(yes, the mic was selected to front panel).
I did read in previous threads referring to mono and stereo mic connection.
Do I need to replace the stereo mic connector on the headset with a mono?
Is there a trick with the adaptor or am I messing up the set-up?
