I don't know what Heil is taking about, but if I compare the pinout
described in the K3 manual to the Kenwood one at:

the stuff that matters (mic audio, PTT and grounds for each) seems to
line up properly, where the Yaesu pinout is completely different.

I was thinking about ordering a Heil headset and had a question about
which adapter to order. I though it would turn out to be the Kenwood
adpt. According to Bob Heil himself....It's the Yaesu adapter. The
confusion never ends. Yaesu had several ways of configuring their 8 pin
mic jack. I read about some difference in Kenwood vs. the K3's pinout
and now this. See Bob's replay to my query below. So who is confused? I
sure am.
Hi Steve
Thanks for your note. Yes, there IS confusion because Elecraft began as a
kit primarily. They suggested you follow Kenwood pin out but as you built
it that was so nice and easy to change.
They went to a Yaesu configuration with the K3. There is no confusion
here.
Yaesu. Never was anything else that I knew of. That works well. Ten
Tec is
using this same pin out and several of the QRP kits are following that so
this is all good Steve.
As far as our products - ANY of the dynamic elements work so for the
headset, you use the AD-1Y (Yaesu) adapter and the headset using our HC 5
element. This is a terrific combination. The AD-1Y adapter has a 1/4"
female output for the HS 2 or FS 2 PTT control.
For microphones I would look at the PR 781 or GOLDLINE GM 5. Cable is the
CC-1Y and again that has output for the PTT control of our handswitch of
footswitch.
Hope this helps. Let me know how best I can help form here, Steve.
