[Elecraft] K3s rear mic connector and shure SM58.

[Stewart]

OK here's what worked: I used a pre-amp, that was on hand, that has a 
balanced XLR input and a TS jack output. The SM58 does need quite a bit 
of gain to work but sounds good using the tx monitor.
My SM58 has a switch so I set up to use VOX and the mic switch acts kind 
of like a PTT (only temp).
Amazon lists a Sescom AUD-XLR-RCA that seems to be nothing more than an 
audio transformer that converts balanced  to unbalanced. Might be just 
what is needed for higher output mics, such as some of the Heils.
Thanks for the help and I hope this helps others who want to use the 
rear jack on their K3s.
