Brad,
While either will work for the KX2, I would suggest wiring only to the
tip and shell (leaving the ring open) - and set the KX2 menu correctly
for that configuration.
That same key can then be used on other transceivers (even those which
accept a mono plug) that do not have the configuration flexibility of
the KX2.
73,
