[Elecraft] K3s: microphone connector 8V current

[Henk de Vries]

Hi all,
At the K3s microphone connector the 8V output (pin 6) is specified at 10 mA max.However a UA78M08CDC voltage regulator - which is directly connected to +12V - provides the voltage/current to this pin.The UA78M08CDC is specified at 500 mA max.
Is there any reason why a current of approx. 50 mA could not be drawn from pin 6?
