[Elecraft] [K3] 8-pin to stereo mic cable?

[Don Wilhelm]

John,

I think the neatest converter cable is the K3 itself - just plug the 8 
pin connector into the front panel.
I don't know of any adapter that will bring out the PTT and AF lines 
from the 8 pin Foster connector to 3.5mm AF and RCA plugs that can be 
used on the back panel.  Homebrew can provide that, but I know of none 
"off the shelf",

73,
Don W3FPR
