Mics for the K3

Tom Brereton
I've been reading the mail about mics for the K3. I am using a Yaesu MD-100 for my FT-897D (which I will be selling upon the arrival of my K3).  It's a very nice desk-top, simple mic with 8 pin configuration which of course does not match the K3 pin outs.
Is there anyone who can suggest how I can use this mic with the K3?
Tom, W0TOM

Tom,

That's easy, just open the mic plug and re-wire it for the K3 pinout -
or if you want to continue using it with Yaesu equipment, build a Yaesu
to Elecraft adapter.

The FT-897D has a modular (RJ-45) mic jack.  This will require
obtaining the cable for a Yaesu FT-1000MP (Foster/8) and then
modifying the Foster cable.
