[Elecraft] Rear Panel Mic help ple

[Don Wilhelm]

Ed,

Definitely something wrong.  How is your mic plug wired?  You should 
have the AF connected to the tip and the AF return (or shield) connected 
to the shell.

If it is connected as a balanced microphone with the AF connected to the 
tip and AF return connected to the ring, and a shield connected to the 
shell, connect the ring to the shell.  The K3 mic input is unbalanced.
Sorry, but I do not know how the Flex mic wiring is configured.
