[Elecraft] K3: Anyone have any troubles with latest 4.86 and RemoteRig TX audio?

[Hisashi T Fujinaka]

Well that was the problem! I wonder why I thought it worked before.

The reason I changed the jumper is because of the RemoteRig users
manual, that says:

 	Control-RRC only: JMP-1 is placed behind the TTL connector. With the
 	strap in place a DC voltage is feed to the microphone element. All
 	ICOM microphones should be DC-feed.
 	Dynamic microphones like the ones used by Kenwood should not be
 	DC-feed. HEIL microphones should not be DC-feed either.

Maybe they just mean the desk microphones.
