[Elecraft] K3: Heil PR20 Microphone

[Don Wilhelm]

Jim,

The rear mic jack itself is stereo, but the signal path is mono - which 
means only the tip and shell are connected in the jack (no connection to 
the ring).
OTOH, if the mic plug is stereo and connects only to tip and ring 
instead of tip and shell, then there will be no connection for one of 
the plug wires.

73,
