Hi
     I have the same issue with my heil headset and the hand mic on the 
kenwood TS 440 S. It seems to me that there would be a way to build a box 
where one could plug in both mics.

God bless,
Mark and Noella
God loves You!

Hi Steve,

I did a poor job of providing the details.
I am interested in using a headset (hs) with a built in mic.  I also need to
use the ts-590 hand mic as it has the 4 programmable function keys.
How would this work?

Thank you,

Kent

I might be missing something here.  The 590 has a 8 pin round jack for the
mic to connect to.  There is also a 1/4 inch  jack for the headphones, and
never the twain will meet.  What is the hp jack you refer to?
