Bill,

I would suggest that it would be much easier to create an adapter for the MH3 to an 8 pin Foster plug - an 8 pin Foster jack to a 3.5mm plug would be quite cumbersome and clumsy in comparison to the size and portability of the KX2/KX3. The PTT connection would be easy (PTT goes to ground), but if you also wanted the UP and DN buttons to work, you would have to add some level sensing circuitry whose outputs would be connected to the UP and down input pins on the Foster connector.

Look at the schematic of the KX2/KX3 mic connections and compare the output to the pinout of the K3(S) mic connector and you will see the difficulty.

So I think the adapter that you have suggested would not be practical for the KX2/KX3.

73,

Wayne, will you offer a mic adapter to also use with KX@ and KX3?
