[Elecraft] FP Mic 8 volts

[Don Wilhelm]

Bias on and off applies to the front panel mic Pin 1 as well as the tip 
of the rear panel jack.  It depends on whether you have the FP or the RP 
selected.

Some Kenwood desk mics do use the power pin, but those Kenwood mics use 
pin 5 instead of pin 6 for power, so you would have to re-wire the mic 
plug to use them.
