[Elecraft] More on K3 trouble

[David Yarnes]

Bruce,

Are you putting the right plug into the right connector???  On the Elecraft 
Pro Set, the mono plug is for your microphone.  The stereo plug is for your 
headphone.  Put the mono plug into the mic connector on the back of the K3, 
and the stereo plug into the headphone jack on the back.  Turn on the Bias 
to the rear connectors via the menu (the Elecraft Pro Set is an electret 
microphone).  You should be good to go!  It sounded to me from your post 
that you were plugging the stereo plug into the mic connector, which is 
probably why the light came on.  And, of course, plugging the mono mic plug 
into the headphone jack would mean no sound output.  Maybe I didn't 
understand your post, but that's what it seemed you were saying.
