[Elecraft] K3 Mic Connection

[Brett Howard]

Does anyone know of an adapter that some one sells to adapt an 8-pin mic
plug to the 1/8 / 3.5mm jack on the back?  Would be slick to get a
completely clean and empty front panel.  I'd even be happy if the PTT
wasn't connected.  The VOX works so well its not needed.  I'd not want
to use the button on the mic anyway.  I'll just wire up a foot pedal.
Perhaps if I end up having to make a connector I'll just buy some extra
connectors and see if anyone else is interested in buying the extras off
me....

Any thoughts?
