Mic 'standard' - never happen - at least I hope it never happens.
They started out with one pin for audio and could end up with one pin for
everything as more and more 'brains' are moved into the microphone and the
connection to the radio turns into a one-wire serial link. This could give
us a compatible connecter with completely incompatible 'data streams'.
Break out your wire cutters and soldering iron. Visit
http://www.qsl.net/g4wpw/date.html to view the myriad of pin-outs for and
within each of the manufacturer's microphones and radios.
If we need a standard, I propose that it be based on a 14-pin JONES plug,
that would look pretty nifty on the front of the future K4.
OK, /sarcasm off & I'll go shovel the driveway.
