[Elecraft] Handedness

[Dave New, N8SBE]

My mistake, then.  I moved recently from a K3 to a K3S, and must have
missed this change in the manual.

I'll check that out.

Thanks for the info, and sorry to have come across so strong on the
list.

The K3s does support independent selection of the Bias on/off for the
front and rear mics.  I have an electret headset plugged into the rear
and an EV dynamic plugged into the front.  The bias selection remembers
the on/off option selected for each mic jack.

Yes, but can you have a dynamic mic plugged into one and an electret mic
plugged in the other?

The K3/K3S has never supported this, and to this day, annoys the heck
out of me, since I have a Heil HC-4 headset (which is dynamic and
plugged in the rear connector) and an Elecraft hand mic (which is
Electret).

I have to go digging through the menus to turn the bias on/off every
time I want to switch mics.  On the plus side, mic HI/LOW gain is
separate for front/rear connectors, but NOT the bias setting.

Hopefully, this has been fixed for the K4.  Separate TX equalizer curves
should be also be supported, as well, along with mic gain, compression,
etc.

Yes. You can have phones and mics plugged in both front/rear at the same
time.
