Yaesu Mics on a K3?

[Dean45]

All of my mics are set up for standard Yaesu hf rigs including an MD-100 and an MH-31. My K2 was set up for this configuration too.

Is it feasible to configure the K3 to use these mics? Or do I need to change all of the mic configurations?

Thanks!

Dean

Dean,

The K3 is permanently wired for the Elecraft mic configuration, so you
must either create an adapter or rewire your microphones for the
Elecraft pinout.  If you choose to rewire the microphones, you will have
to change your K2 as well if you wish to use the same mic on both.

After answering many questions about how to set the K2 microphone
configuration header for a wide variety of mics, I for one am glad that
the K3 does not have a configurable mic pinout.

The K3 microphone jack pinout is in the K3 manual.

I use a MD-100 with my K3 with excellant results. I purchased a NCS
Mulit-Switcher to do the task. I use the same mike on the K3, a Kenwood
2000 and my Yeasu FT-950. This switch works great on all.
