That would be a COMPLETE AND TOTAL waste of time. The K3 mic input Z is 600 ohms nominal per spec.
The D-104 element needs 500k minimum and better no less than 5M. Last I heard the input stage of a K3 was not a 12AU7/12AX7. That's why Z transformation (preamp, xformer) IS required for this element Grant/NQ5T >> > > As a pro audio engineer, I would advise trying the D104 straight into > the K3 and using TX with someone listening to you carefully on the air > before going any further. > > 73, Jim Brown K9YC > ______________________________________________________________ > Elecraft mailing list > Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft > Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm > Post: mailto:[email protected] > > This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net > Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
