no transmit on K3

[Rem O.]

I'm trying two different mics to transmit with.
One is a Kenwood hand mic from a Kenwood 570D
and the other is a Heil Pro Set Plus with an 8pin
Kenwood mic adapter.  I haven't had any luck when even
trying to set up my levels for transmitting.  I cannot get any bar
to show up or move on the ALC or Compression when keying down.
I have tried with the compression as high a 30 and the mic gain as high
as 60 but no movement, whether in TX Test or regular TX mode.

I feel like I am forgetting to change one setting somewhere,
if that is what the problem is.

I put the K3 together myself and don't know if something could
have been done wrong there, but after looking again and again
in the manual, I just don't know what else to try.

Any suggestions, even to go and check basic settings will be
appreciated.  Please reply offline.

Thanks

Sometimes one of the front panel connector pins don't line up and that
breaks the mic connection. If you have a computer mic hand, plug it into the
rear panel, change the menu and see if that works. That would be rP.L
Bias...in the menu. This will narrow down the problem.
