I too have occasionally been stumped in finding details in the K3 Manual while
using its topical organization. The Index is helpful but of necessity
incomplete. Another approach is to use a word search function on the .pdf
version, which is available on the Elecraft site. The Adobe reader is also
available for free.
I tried a word search on MIC SEL, as mentioned in the post below. It produced
14 hits of which one was to the menu entries on page 52, which I think
addresses Carl’s question. Searching for the word ELECTRET gets there as well.
The manuals for all my Elecraft equipment and accessories are downloaded to a
laptop. Since completing the assembly of each, I can’t remember using a paper
version.

Hi Carl,
If your mic requires bias voltage, then when you go into the microphone
selection menu on the K3S (tap Menu, then rotate VFO B to select "MIC SEL",
then rotate VFO A to select the desired mic input jack(s) (you already did this
step), THEN press the number "2" on the K3s front panel number keypad, which
will alternately toggle the microphone bias voltage on and off.
This instruction is buried/hidden in the manual - it does NOT appear on the
page where it should appear, i.e. where the MIC SEL menu option is explained.
I was planning to make a documentation improvement suggestion to Elecraft
at some point about this, but I didn't get around to it yet. It took me a very
long time to find it in the manual.
73,
John W2ID
