[Elecraft] Rear Mic Connection

[Ron Midwin]

I own s/n 1997 and am currently using the Heil Proset mic/headphone on the
front with a Kenwood cable.  It works fine.

 

I'd like to connect my HM-10 Heil mic with the 4/5 cartridge on the rear of
the radio.  I'm sure someone has done this.  I am going to make a cable with
a 4 pin female XLR connector on one end, and a 1/4 inch mono plug on the
other end to the radio.

 

Since the settings for the mic gain, bias and front/rear will need to be
changed each time I want to switch mics, what is the most elegant way to
save these settings; on software? And change the settings without too much
hassle?  I don't think I want to go in manually every time.  Is there a way
the radio can remember these settings without the computer?

 

I'm also planning on connecting a Heil mic on/off foot pedal to the rear
connector.

 

73,
