Yahama CM500 help

[KD7PY]

I am trying to help my buddy out on the phone who is 1200 mi away,
he is trying to get the cm500 to work on his new to him K3.
I don't have a cm500 to look at but pix of it shows the mic plug a stereo and not mono.
does he have to change the plug,   he tried to use it with the Heil adaptor for the front pnl and tried it in the back mic connector and can't get the mic to work.
we went through the menu settings for the mic and still no mic.

how did you get it to work.


tnx for the input

Plug it into the rear panel.  Do NOT use an adapter. Follow the
instructions in the manual to select Rear Panel and to TURN ON BIAS.
