I have a KX3/PX3 shack at home, and rarely, if ever, take my KX3 into the
field. (I know, it's a field rig, but it's also pretty darned 'spensive!) I
have lots of other rigs for field use, some of which I built. For me,

Yep, written product lit has always been wrong. It plugs straight into

I recently bought a CM-500 from B Photo (a recommended vendor). They were

Just about any headset with an electret or dynamic boom mic will work

I have a Kx3, because I can take it to the field. But most of the time I
