[Elecraft] K3 Mics

[Joe Subich, W4TV]

GM-5 works fine with the rear panel connection - you just need to
make your own cable as none of the Heil cables are designed to work
with a 3.5mm mono jack.

The GM-5 has a 4 pin XLR - you will need to break it out like this:

   XLR
    1  mic return  3.5mm sleeve
    2  Mic "hot"   3.5mm tip
    3  PTT         RCA tip
    4  PTT         RCA shell

The 3.5mm connects to the rear panel mic jack and the RCA connects to
the rear panel PTT jack.

73,

    ... Joe, W4TV
