K3 no microphone SSB output - new build

[Stan AE7UT]

Just finished a K3 100 and the mic is not working.  

Red led lights with PTT
Full 100 watt output with CW
Test is off
Using an MH2 that works FB with my K2
Mic BTN is on
Front panel selected
Rechecked TMP cables
Reloaded firmware
No error messages

Any help?

Thanks

My first thought - "Of course it's on... do you think I'm that dumb?"
My next thought - "I know I turned that on"
Just checked... it was off.
Now all is working fantastic.
Thanks.  I guess I need another cup of coffee!

What a great rig so far.
What a fun build.  

I just sold my Orion II to buy this so I'm hoping no regrets.

I did NOT have the bias on.  So I ACTUALLY turned it on and now
the K3 is working perfect. Thanks for asking!

So how did my first spin with the new rig go?
I was going to set up the mic first but thought I would scan the bands and
see if there was anything there.  It was already on 12 meters so I tune for
about 30 seconds and KH2L was calling CQ on 12 mtrs.  Snagged him with
my first call.  That's a Guam station about 6K miles from my QTH.
Went up the band just a bit and heard another CQ and got TN.
Then just up another bit and got JR3NZC a JA station.  
Just about then my wife called me to dinner.

I like my new K3.

With all that going on, I would have skipped supper, Stan.  :-)
