Yes, you will likely need to have bias on for whichever mic jack you use.
It has the standard PC 1/8" jacks, so I assume I'd need some sort of adapters. But what about for the mike? And how do I add a PTT pedal or switch?
You can either plug it directly into the 3.5mm jacks on the rear panel and program a function key (typically PF1) to turn the speaker(s) On/Off or you can use an 1/8" to 1/4" adapter for the headphones and a Heil AD1-K (Kenwood) adapter to connect the mic to the front panel (Foster) mic jack. You could also build your own equivalent of the AD1-K with an 8 pin mic plug and a couple in-line female jacks for the 1/8" mic plug and PTT. 73, ...
