[Elecraft] K3 microphone

[Don Wilhelm]

Giuliano,

The ICOM HM-36 uses an 8 pin connector, just like the K3 - BUT the mic 
plug wiring is different, so you cannot simply plug it into the K3.

If you wish to dedicate that microphone to the K3, then it is an easy 
matter to re-wire the mic plug, but it will no longer work with Icom 
transceivers.
