RE: [Elecraft] K3 Mic Connection
If you have a regular Kenwood cable it probably won't work with the PR40 and K3. The PR40 is a balanced mike with a 3 pin XLR connector. You need a special Kenwood cable for the PR 40 to accommodate the 3 pin plug and also to allow it to interface with a unbalanced mike input. Heil does make such a cable. Of course, you may already know that.

[Elecraft] K3 Mic Connection
I am in the process of trying to mate a Heil PR-40 to my new K3. I do have a mic cable wired for Kenwood use. A couple of questions….. 1.

[Elecraft] [K3] : Mic connection
Hello Elecrafters, I am playing with my K3 and just realized that the Up and Down buttons of my Kenwood MC-43S microphone do not work on the K3 as they work on the K2. On the K2, whatever button is pressed, the frequency shifts from the one on VFO A to the one on VFO B. On the K3, nothing happens. This doesn't seem to be in line with the Owner's manual (see page 13 of release C1 of the owner's manual). Something wrong with my K3 ? de Raymond, F4FNT K3/100 #615, K2/100 #5,636 ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
