No Jim, it's not such a clear cut situation.
Of course manufacturers should be able to protect their interests, but
taking acceptable measures depends on the degree of the measures and as

Hello Elecrafters,
A local ham, who does not know much English, needs to sell his K2 s/n 42xx to

Several years back, there was a freely available piece of software that

I think that's a wise choice, Tim. If you look
back into older reflector messages some have used
the mic-earphone combos successfully (e.g., the
Yamaha CM500) successfully. But getting the PTT
set up takes some fiddling and with the Elecraft

Tim,
You can use many headsets and microphones with the KX3 - *IF* you are
willing to build an adapter.
I have my homebrew adapter for the CM500 headset that works just fine,
but if you are not able/willing to build your own adapter, order the
Elecraft MH3 microphone - it works just fine.
