[Elecraft] 8 pin Foster mic plug

[Corboy-Poteet]

For Heil products you might also look at R&L Electronics
(www.randl.com).  Their descriptions can be a bit cryptic but they
seem to carry almost everything that Heil sells (to the public).

> Ken K0PP recently mentioned a need to 'convert' between an Icom
> wired mic and the Kenwood style wiring used on the K3.  Others have
> also recently been looking for the 8 pin Foster style connector.

> There's a version of that connector that is SO superior in quality
> and feature that it's hard not to mention.  Heil makes a Foster
> connector that features a modified cable grip, designed to allow
> footswitch 'tap' access.  Here is a link:

> Once you use this connector instead of the 'regular' type Fosters,
> you WON'T go back.  Heck, it's practically as good as if it was an Elecraft part!
