[Elecraft] Rear Panel Mic help ple

[Ed Stallman]

Iain , thanks for your input , I did look to be sure and I am plugged 
into the Mic in the back ... Using the XMIT and monitoring the ALC 
with Mic Gain at 60 , I get one bar on the alc meter...I was using 
this Microphone and cable on a Flex 5K , Is the TRS plug wired the same ?

Ed
