Heil headsets do not come with a plug that will plug into the mic jack of most radios and key the PTT. The adapters are available from Heil or can be easily put together yourself. I have always made my own. But first the KX3 in order to do PTT and provide clean audit you need to split a 3 stereo plug to 2 mono Jack's. One connected across the top and sleeve and the other across the ring and sleeve. I think Heil sells one, but I bought mine off of Amazon for about $5. I could hardly buy the connectors for that. There are many setting that need to be changed for the mic bias and button functions as well. But you end up with a nice headset when you are done.
