Jim,
Thanks for the information on the mic you are using.

First you need balanced phantom power, then a real mic transformer to connect it to the K3. There's no good reason for using a mic like this in ham radio. I'm using an EV RE16. It is ideally suited to ham radio, rejects noise in the shack, no proximity effect, no breath pops, etc. It works very well with every ham rig I've tried it with, including the K3. See http://HamInterfacing.pdf for details and a list of other great pro mics to use in your ham shack that cost a LOT less. BTW -- I own a lot of pro mics, including a pair of TLM170s. They're great for recording acoustic music, which is what I use them for. I wouldn't dream of using them in my ham shack. 73, Jim Brown K9YC _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: elecr...@...
