Joe,
That is why I internally 'bristle' a bit when I hear folks say that the
Elecraft microphone is the same as Kenwood. Even Bob Heil had made that
statement to me when I specifically addresses it with him last year at
Dayton. Perhaps he really meant that the pinout was the same with
respect to *his* microphones, or perhaps he had never checked about the
pin 5, pin 6 swap.
Remember that 'compatible' does not necessarily mean 'equivalent'.

Argh! Another case of being "almost the same." This breaks a lot
of good Kenwood mics - MC-44, MC-55, MC-60, MC-80, MC-85 - when
they are powered from the radio.
It’s this kind of "hidden" design departures that are extremely
frustrating to users and third party vendors alike.
