[Elecraft] K3 & microKeyer2

[Greg]

Not so bad provided the leads are not too long.  I used the terminals 
for the FSK keying from the SO2R box.  But I agree...more connectors 
would be nice.  They don't make them with more than two.  But I think if 
there was enough interest thay may.  Dick and I had asked and they were 
asking about the size of the order.
