[Elecraft] K3S RJ-45 Pin Alignment

[Lynn W. Taylor, WB6UUT]

Microphone connectors fail eventually, even the well-made ones with set 
screws and clamps.

There is one advantage to the RJ-45 -- it's easy to clip off a little 
wire and crimp on a new one.

Replacing a more traditional connector is much harder.
