[Elecraft] mic

[Fred Jensen]

Just curious ... I inherited a David Clark noise cancelling aviation 
headset/mic from a neighbor who was a US Forest Service pilot.  I've 
never tried it, the connector is strange.  I'm not even sure I know 
where it is right now.  Will it work with my K3 if I can find it and get 
the connector compatible?  I know they're expensive.

Maybe it will cancel the powerline noise on 80? [:-))
