K3 Desk Mic

[Dick Dickinson]

Will the DM2 again be offered or perhaps another desk mic?  If not, is there
possibly a known plan for a third party desk mic?

Not sure if there will be a desk mic.  But one of the great things is you should be able to
adapt just about any mic to the K3.  There is switchable bias available on both the front panel
as well as the rear panel and plenty of mic gain available if you need it.  There's also the
mic TX EQ so you can tailor the sound.

I use a PR40 into the rear mic connector and get great audio reports.

BTW...forgot to mention....You do not need to use any type of jumpers for turning the bias on
or off.  You simply bring up the MIC SEL menu item and TAP the 1 button to toggle the bias.

The Icom SM-6 desk microphone is, IMHO, ideally
suited / sized for the K2/K3.

Mine works well.

Thanks, Ken.

I have an Icom SM-8.  The SM-8 uses a different UP/DN scheme from the K3.
It uses one pin instead of the two for the K3.  The K3 also has available a
pin for 'Function'.  As I understand, it can be programmed by the user.  

I seem to recall reading that there will not be a microphone configuration
connector in the K3 as is in the K2.    

In any event I thought a mic that will cover the UP/DN and Function aspects
of the K3 might be offered.
