[Elecraft] Another "K3 is coming question"

[Ed Muns]

Another alternative, which I prefer, is to use the 3.5mm (1.8") phone jack
on the rear panel.  There is also a RCA Phono jack for PTT.  In either case,
front or rear panel, you could make a simple adapter cable to go from your
non-Elecraft/non-Kenwood microphones.
