The index topic is "Front Panel Connectors". Here is the | description from the owner's manual: | | 1 Mic audio, low-Z (~600 ohms) | 2 PTT | 3 DOWN button* | 4 UP button* | 5 FUNCTION button* | 6 8V (10 mA max) | 7, 8 Ground | | I don't own the microphone you mention, but some of the pins appear to be | connected as expected, but I'm not sure about pin 6, which is "Rev Audio" on | the MC-60 microphone connection layout I found. | | The MC-60 is a "dynamic" microphone, and you probably want bias off for that | sort of microphone. | | As for amplifier switching, it depends on what kind of amplifier you have. | The K3's Key Out line is described on page 17 of the owner's manual. The Key | Out line is specified to switch up to 200V DC at up to 5 Amps, so maybe your | AmpKeyer isn't required if your amp's T/R relay switching line is within | these limits. | | Dick, K6KR | | | -----Original Message----- | From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of VE7AJJ | Sent: Saturday, June 07, 2008 3:32 PM | To: [email protected] | Subject: [Elecraft] K3 serial no. 997 | | Ordered Dec 23 received June 4. | | I very much enjoyed the build and really like the rig but I am having | some issues with the setup. I cannot even find a mic pinout in the | manual. Wow, that would seem to be pretty basic information to be | included. I do have an MC-60 which is supposed to be pin for pin | compatable with the K3 but I cannot get much output swing on the | meter. I know the PA is working because I have tried it in CW and | lots of output on CW but the out put is low on SSB | | I know others have had issues with this but I don't seem to find any | solutions in the archhives. I wonder if someone with an MC-60 that | has successfully set the rig up could please email me and perhaps | compare notes? I would sure appreciate it. My emails should show up | at the beginning of this post. If not I can post it on here. | | Also. I'm wondering what to use to key the amp. I have an Ampkeyer | for interface. Does a guy just use the switchable 12 volts for that? | | Thanks in advance. | | 73 | | Garry/Ve7ajj | _______________________________________________ | Elecraft mailing list | Post to: [email protected] | You must be a subscriber to post to the list. | Subscriber Info (Addr.
