Title: Electret mic and K3 and one way audio
Post by: Bob G3PJT on 2014-12-10, 22:54:52

Hi
Been having a one way audio problem. My Icom SM20 works very well with my K3. But would not work with the RR Control unit set for the Elecraft hardware settings. After a lot of hunting we found that the mic did not produce any output when plugged into the Control. What seems to be happening is that although the mic is biased  the AF is filtered out.

Anybody seen the same effect ?

Thanks for any comments

Hi

ICOM SM20 is not wired like most of the Icom mics, It need power for the mic element on a separate pin. The RRC power the mic on the mic wire "phantom feeding".
