[Elecraft] re: K3 [Elecraft Proset Question

[Don Wilhelm]

Dave,

The Elecraft ProSet K2 does use an adapter that is Kenwood compatible, 
and will work just fine with the K3 or with a properly wired mic 
configuration header on the K2.
The bias is applied to the AF output line and neither pin 5 nor pin 6 
are used in the adapter.
