I keep the headset plugged into the rear mic and headphone jack. In the menu, I set SPKR+PH to Yes. I'm using an amplified speaker system which has it's own volume control. When using the headset, I simply turn down the speake volume. I use a foot switch plugged into the PTT jack on the rear of the K3.
A couple of days ago, I discovered a very cool way to mute my speakers while using a headset. This is accomplished simply by tapping the M3 key. The reason this works is that certain menu functions with yes/no or on/off parameters will cycle between their yes/no or on/off states simply by invoking them with a memory key. M1-M4 are handy because all you need do is tap them once the memory is set. Here's what you do: 1. Dial up the SPKR+PH item in config. 2. Now, HOLD one of the memory keys, M1-4, to memorize that menu function. 3. Now, whenever you tap the same M key, SPKR+PH will cycle between yes/no. Your speakers will mute and unmute simply by tapping the M key. You can do the same with th PF1/PF2 keys but the key must be held down for a moment accomplish the same result. Enjoy. 73, Bill, WA4KBD K3/100 #0224 -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/K3-cheap-mic-tp17169142p17170556.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
