Dave,
Since you have the K3, your microphone should be fine - just turn bias OFF.
The K3 has adequate mic gain range to handle most any microphone. I
believe the HC-7 element has relatively low output, so you may have to
use the High mic gain range.
Your friend may be remembering the K2 which had limited microphone gain
and did not do well with low output dynamic microphones.

I have a new Heil ProSet 7 with the regular HC-7 element. A friend of mine told
me that that is the wrong element and that I should have gotten the IC electret
element.
In fact, he said that Elecraft recommends the IC element for the K3. Is this
true? What has been anyone's experience with the IC element and the K3?
Thanks, Dave, N8NB
