[Elecraft] K3 Heil Adapter, which one?

[Brett Howard]

I'm using their Kenwood adapter with my Heil Goldline and it works
perfectly.

I don't know what Heil is taking about, but if I compare the pinout
described in the K3 manual to the Kenwood one at:

the stuff that matters (mic audio, PTT and grounds for each) seems to
line up properly, where the Yaesu pinout is completely different.
