Front Pannel Hand Mic (HM2)

I have a brand new K3 that I just completed this past week (with a
little help from the reflector, thank you!).

Now I am having a problem with the 8 pin mic connector on the front,
neither the Hand Mic nor the pro-set work with it (using the Elecraft
supplied adaptor). I was able to connect the mic from the headset to
the rear of the K3 and confirm that I can in fact transmit voice. I
have MIC SEL set to FP.H (I've also tried FP.L) and MIC+LIN ON. Is
there another setting that I am missing to enable the Hand Mic on the
front of the unit?

The PTT does work on the FP Mic input as I was able to use the Hand
Mic to key and transmit CW and SSB with the headset connected to the
back.

Thank you,

Rob

Rob,

Turn BIAS on - both those mics need it, and there will be no output
without the boas voltage.

Don,

Thank you very much, that was it! I don't know how I missed that, I
thought I had tried every iteration and combination in the Mic Sel menu.
