Thanks Chris and here is the answer
What is the microphone pin-out on the K3?

The K3 8-pin microphone connector is wired the same as the K2 using the
Kenwood pin-out. Plus we added a lot more mic pre-amp gain (adjustable) in
the K3. There's also a 1/8-inch mono mic connector on the rear panel. This
helps with keeping the clutter down during the heat of a contest. The mic
source is set from a menu option.

de WP4o, Ed

Hi Ed!

If you go to the Elecraft website and find the K3 FAQ page there's a mic pinout
diagram there.

I have the MH2 for when I want to take the rig portable. But from my fixed location
I use a PR40 connected to the back. Or for contesting I use a set of Heil Quiet
phones.

Just about any mic should be able to work well. So if you already have a mic, wire
it up in accordance with the diagram on the FAQ. The K3 designers had great
forethought to put switchable bias on both the front panel and rear panel mic
connections. There should also be plenty of mic gain for most situations.

When you start using the radio, you should set the COMP to zero, adjust your your
mic gain for correct ALC action, then introduce some compression if desired. I only
use about 2 bars of indicated compression on the scale and I get fine audio reports.

Depends upon how you wired it initially. If you wired it for
Kenwood, then yes, it should fit.
