[Elecraft] XLR microphone wiring, K3 rear panel

CAT5E cable to use, and I also have a standard XLR cable. Does hot go to the center and ground return go to the outside conductor? I know that I'll have to select the rear panel mic option in the menu. Are there other settings, i.e. bias voltage, that have to be set? 73 Benson / NE4W

[Elecraft] Bad KIO3 board

My K3, sn2378, lost the ability to communicate with my PC via RS232. Communicating with Elecraft, I determined that my KIO3 board needs to be replaced. In lieu of that, would I still be able to use a SignaLink USB for digimodes since it apparently uses VOX for keying? 73, Benson NE4W
