[Elecraft] re: K3 [Elecraft Proset Question

[David Yarnes]

Fred and All,

I believe the adapter supplied with the Elecraft Pro Set is a true Kenwood 
adapter.  On the K2 you wired the radio for whatever microphone you wanted. 
If you wanted to use a Kenwood microphone setup you wired the K2 
accordingly.  That would put bias on pin 5.  The Elecraft Pro Set, which is 
an electret with the "IC" cartridge, was deemed to be fully "Kenwood 
compatible, and so they just supplied a Kenwood adapter with the Pro Set, 
and that worked fine on a K2 wired for Kenwood.  Along comes the K3, with 
bias preset on pin 6, and they are still sending out the Kenwood adapter.  I 
think that's why it doesn't work for you.  I have the Elecraft Pro Set also, 
and I just use the jacks on the back of the K3--no adapter used.
