[Elecraft] Using Heil Pro Set Elite boom mic on K3.. what adapter is required?

[Bob McGraw K4TAX]

I use this configuration, headset with mike {Koss SB 40} and a separate 
desk boom and mike {PR781} along with a pair of external speakers.  It 
is easy to switch between the two mikes with just a change from rP  {SB 
40}  to fP {PR 781} via the menu.   In both cases, I find mike gain 
selection of HIGH to be the preferred choice.   The SB 40 has a dynamic 
mike element so no BIAS is needed for either mike configuration.
