If the Kenwood desk mic includes a preamplifier or electret
element it will not be compatible with the stock Elecraft mic
connections. You will need to open the Foster plug on the
Kenwood mic and move the wire on pin 5 (Kenwood bias) to pin
6 (Elecraft bias) or install batteries in the base of the
Kenwood deck mic.
The MC-60A (with preamplifier turned off) and the MC-90 are
"pure" dynamic desk mics that should require no modification
to work with the K3.
