Thanks all for your suggestions how to use the old Heil headset with an
HC-4 element.
Unfortunately, I couldn't make it work and sound good with the KX3.
You have to crank up the mic gain very high and it sounds like you're in
a barrel!
It's an old headset but I don't want to throw it away,
YES, a LOT of Mic Gain!

Thanks for this tip. I knew there was a PTT input somewhere else on the radio
besides the rings on the mic jack. My prev posts were from memory, however I
sold my KX3 when the K3S was announced.

I do this with a standard switch and a 2.5mm jack and a CM500 headset.
Works FB.

Before plugging in the mic from Menu set mic buttons to OFF. See the manual
about this. Also be sure Bias is OFF.
You will need to tap the Transmit button to speak and again to stop.
Or use VOX, see manual to set this up.
Go have fun!

Hi all,
I want to use an older Heil headset, with an HC-4 element, with my KX3.
Despite having tried different settings for the microphone, I can't make
it work.
Your ideas and suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks!
