[Elecraft] K3 KRX3

[Stewart Baker]

Hi Barry,
Do make sure that BOTH connectors between the Front Panel and DSP
boards are mated. If you have the connector with the single row of
pins out of it's socket then the Front Panel mic socket will not
work.

So far, I have managed to achieve this TWICE !

problem might lie. I seem to recall someone else having a similar 
problem after installing the KRX3.
