Mike,
I believe you either misunderstood, or you do not have a good mental
image of the small microphone Wayne was talking about.
I don't see any inconsistency. The small microphone mentioned is a
right angled mic that is quite small and fits directly on the KX3 (no
cord) and it has a 3

The XMIT switch would be used with any 3-circuit mic, such as the one
from Fry's.
I may stand corrected, if your assumption is correct. (I have NO
problem in admitting an error.) But, it does NOT seem that a 3-circuit
plug will be permitted access to the PTT function. -Again, I really do
not know. All I have to go by is the previously-copied entry from a

Thank you for your reply! I will add my comments below...

OK, how about an adaptter similar to What Yaesu offered for the VX
series HTs. It plugs into their 4-circuit mic jack and presented a new
jack with a 3-circuit. this was useful for cloning, digital work, or for

Mike,
It appears that the lack of PTT with a 3 circuit microphone is a lack in
the microphone (I don't know of any mic with a 3 circuit plug that has a
PTT button - these are built for use as computer mics).
Wayne has said that one could wire a PTT switch onto a 3 circuit jack -
which tells me

- Yes, the mini-mic, or the small mic that is from Fry's will indeed work.
This plan will mean that one would have to pick up, and hold the radio,
I am assuming. This, or the mic gain will have to be set rather

Wayne;
I do understand that the PTT function is indeed available at the mic
connector on the KX3 radio. You have mentioned ...PTT function comes
out to one of the 4 pins...
But... On which of the four circuit points on the 4-circuit
connector? From way back to my original post and
Mike,
The KX3 should only be used as an HT when that's the only option. As
HTs go, it's pretty large. That said, I believe the KX3 works pretty
well for short HT-style QSOs. The speaker is right next to your ear,
and you can use VOX if tapping XMIT doesn't suit you.

*Wayne,
Whilst paying attention to the Mic wiring discussion I wonder about using
the KX3 as a Mobile HF rig.
Am I correct in thinking the Elecraft Mic will function nicely, but, to
enable hands free use are you looking at whatwill be a suitable headset
including PTT will suit, as in my case VOX
I can't answer this question specifically (yet), but nearly any wired
or bluetooth headset could be adapted to work with the KX3 given the
right adapters.

Yep; Easy enough to do: Wire one's own mic to the common 3-circuit
plug. (DONE!) Wayne has offered positive information which confirms
your feelings.
And, yes; A common computer mic may well NOT have a PTT switch. I was
never considering this. Rather than a computer mic, I was thinking
