[Elecraft] K3: Will the Yaesu MD-100 microphone work with the K3?

[Don Wilhelm]

George,

The foster plug pinout is different.  You will have to re-wire the mic 
plug to match the Elecraft pinout.
Elecraft mics work FB, and the non-amplified, non-electret microphones 
from Kenwood will also work directly because the pimout does not use 
either pins 5 or 6 of the mic plug.  For the same reason, Heil mics with 
a Kenwood adapter also work directly.

Icom and Yaesu mics have an entirely different pinout and must be 
modified to work with the K3.
