[Elecraft] K3S Build - What have I forgotten

[Don Wilhelm]

Andrew,

What microphone are you trying to use?  That is an important question.

It must conform to either the Elecraft or the Kenwood microphone jack 
pinout to use the front panel K3S connector.  The rear panel Mic jack 
works for those microphones that use a 3.5mm plug (Heil, Yamaha CM500 
and other 'computer' microphones).

You must select in the menu between the front panel mic jack and the 
rear panel.  If the microphone has an electret element (Elecraft MH2, 
Yamaha CM500 or computer mic), then you must set Bias on.  If it is a 
dynamic microphone (Kenwood or some Heil microphones), the Bias must be 
set to OFF.

73,
Don W3FPR
