[Elecraft] Changing K2 Microphones for the K3

[Don Wilhelm]

John,

Since you have the resistor in the connector, it will work fine with the 
K3 - BUT - the mic bias will be coming from the resistor in the mic 
itself - for that reason, do not turn the K3 microphone bias on.
Others using those same microphones with the K3 would want to turn bias 
on because they have no resistor in the connector body.
