How do you measure the degree of mismatch? A mismatch has two

Ken,
If you plug the ProSet into the front panel, yes, the Kenwood adapter is
the right one.
On the K3 it can be plugged into the rear panel with no adapter.
The ProSet-K2 and the ProSet-iC have electret elements and need bias
turned on. The others are dynamic and need no bias.

There seems to be something floating around that if there's noise, it
must be the K3's fault. While EME frequencies have very little
ambient noise unless the antenna is aimed at the sun or some known
noise source, for MF and HF, there is plenty of ambient noise that
will come in on any antenna.
With 1TB drives in the sub $100 range it's possible to store a tremendous
