[Elecraft] K3: Problem with CM500 plugged into front panel through AD1K

[Stan Rowe]

Thanks to all that replied to my query.  Don, W3FPR, hit the nail on the
head that the adapter has a mono jack and the CM500 has a stereo plug.  The
tip and the ring of the CM500 mic plug are connected together, so when
plugged into a mono jack, the audio is shorted to the shell.  For now, at
least, I will keep the CM500 plugged into the rear phone and mic jack on the
K3.

 

I appreciate the expertise on this reflector.
