Connecting radio to headset for listen only


Question

Posted

My radio has the typical 2 prong Kenwood connection, I don't use it to communicate I just like to listen to it with my headset sometimes while cutting the grass or working outside so I can listen to random chatter or what not... Anywhoozle, Im new to this so please don't rag on me if this is common knowledge but when I try to find an adapter to go from the radios 2 prong to the 3.5mm headset jack they all seem to be with mics and ptt buttons. Isn't there a cheap easy Kenwood 2 prong adapter to audio only 3.5mm? 

I did try to search but I'm fairly Internet illiterate so again, if this is a stupid question please forgive me. 

 

Thanks!

Don’t worry about the microphone jack,  just plug in the headphones to the earphone jack, leaving the other jack empty.  You’ll probably need a single 2.5 mm plug to 3.5 mm jack adapter.
