[Elecraft] K3s and MFJ1234 for camping

[Rick Tavan]

I'm using a RemoteRig RRC-1258 pair in my remote setup, not an MFJ1234. I
parallel the mic output of the RRC with the station local mic line, plugged
into the K3 MIC connector, and it seems to work for what little SSB I do.
I've not made any measurements of interfering ambient noise, but haven't
heard any complaints.
