[Elecraft] Connecting XLR 1/4 Inch Mic Cable to K3S

[Bob McGraw K4TAX]

I just wired an XLR to the 8 pin MIC connector via a 2 conductor 
shielded cable and be done with it.   I hate adapters due to the high 
likelyhood of intermittent connections.

XLR pin #1 to 8 pin #7  Shield

XLR pin #2 to 8 pin #1  mic hi

XLR pin #3 to 8 pin #8  mic lo

Be sure BIAS is turned off if using a dynamic mike.
