[Elecraft] Heil 4-pin XLR pinout

[Brett Howard]

I finally found some online... And after calling around for a bit I did
find 2 shops that had 4 pin XLR connectors.  One shop only had panel
mount versions and the other shop only has right angle versions.
Neither had more than 2 or 3 of them though.

I'm going to go get one of the right angle ones and I've ordered a set
of 3 of the straight ones online.  

Will be nice to get the mic moved to the back...  The plan is to put a
3.5mm jack and an RCA on the same cable with a lil pigtail so I don't
lose the ability to use the PTT button on the mic if its ever needed...
