My Apple earbuds with 4-conductor do work on my
KX2, Jim.

Just got my KX2 with ATU & internal battery. Waiting on my paddles. Have a number
of power sources & antennas to try. Meantime, I have a couple of questions.
1) cabling for digital modes. Looking to run PSK-31 & WSJT-X. Am experienced with those
modes on Icom 756 Pro II, Flex 1500, and K3. All I need is the cables. From looking at the
schematics it looks like all I need is a couple of 1/8" stereo Male-to-Male cables. No
real question about the receive side. Looks like the transmit side (KX2 mic input) is a
4-conductor jack with separate signal & logic grounds. Will it work with a 3-conductor
cable which would seem to short the grounds together?
BTW, I discovered that Apple iPod earbuds (4-conductor plug) don't work. I tried pushing
the plug all the way in, and pulling it out part way. No joy. My expensive Bose earphone
work well, as do my inexpensive over-the-ear "cans". Looking for a set of
earbuds with 3-conductor plug to keep the package small.
2) can anybody recommend a small (cheap) headset? Maybe a computer, telephone,
or gaming headset? I'll probably spring for the MH3, but would like a
hands-free option.
KX2 is going along to a family reunion this weekend. We are both looking
forward to it.

Jim, WK8G
