Yes, aviation headsets use different size connectors for the mic and phones.  I believe the headphone use a standard 1/4" and the mic is a .206" (5.25mm) plug.  I made an adapter to use my aviation headset on the K3 but got reports of garbled audio (probably RF getting into the cable or my adapter).  I did get good results using the noise canceling headset for RX and a boom mic for TX.

Am setting up a newly acquired used K3 which came with no microphone.  Is
it possible to use an adapter to make a Lightspeed Zulu noise cancelling
headset work for the K3.  I got very nice reception using the cell phone
attachment line but can't identify any microphone function.  The two main
lines are different sizes, per standard aviation usage.
