Pat, Sure does help.  Sounds like I need a different adaptor.

Thanks,

Hi Don,

The earphone jack on the Kenwood is the "micro"  - the size a bit smaller
than the 1/8 plug.  That is what I use when I use headphones with the
handheld.  I have one of the adapters - it fits properly in the top jack in
the pair on the side of the Kenwood.
Hope this helps.
