I’m still more of an audio professional than an accomplished ham, so I’ll ask while the thread is hot - why does ham gear use non-standard interconnects? Why don't Elecraft and others move to 3-pin XLR? Honestly, the bottom of my mic cabinet is probably overkill for ham, but the fact I have to get (or make) a custom adapter for even my least expensive mic irks me.
