[Elecraft] Icom SM-8 Mic to K3 Need wiring advice

  Dean,

The Elecraft microphone pinout has 2 ground pins - both 7 and 8.
I believe it is conventional to connect the PTT return to pin 7 and the 
AF Ground to pin 8.
In any case, it will make no difference with the K2 or K3 because both 
pins 7 and 8 are connected to ground at the board.
