[Elecraft] RE50B microphone connected to K3

[David Moes]

RE50b is a low z dynamic mic that is well suited to voice and is an 
excellent mic  should work well for K3.  To use this unbalanced you 
are correct to connect pin1 to pin3   (cold to ground)   do not 
connect the XLR connector body to the ground it should be left 
floating.   I have used many balanced dynamics in this way with many 
rigs without issue
