[Elecraft] RemoteRig + K3/0 setup with microphone

[iain macdonnell - N6ML]

Hi Brian,

Try temporarily disconnecting the RS232 cable from the K3/0 to the RRC
(before power-on). That should allow you to access to the menus for
the K3/0 instead of the remote K3.

If your headset has a 1/8" plug, a possible alternative would to use a
barrel to connect it to the plug that's supposed to go into the K3/0's
rear mic connector (i.e. connect it directly to the RRC, bypassing the
K3/0). The JMP-1 jumper inside the RRC will supply bias.

73,

    ~iain / N6ML
