[Elecraft] SSB Unit and P1

Hi, Tom,

As I recall, the Heil hand microphones come with a little brown coin
envelope with the necessary computer-style shorting jumpers.  If that isn't
the case for you, go to the local computer store and get 8 shorting jumpers.
Sure beats trying to solder in that tight spot.

If you had an old wire wrap gun, you could use it too.

Go visit your local computer store if you can't find an envelope full of
jumpers in your mike box.
