Walter had the best suggestions so I will follow up in that direction.
VOX is not a good choice so PTT is needed and Walter has it
covered. Interesting info on logic vs mic bias, etal.
Microwave gear is near as complicated as doing eme. I have
transverter, separate 2w PA, separate preamp, sma TR relay, sequencer
and KX3-2M driving transverter with 1w. All has to be mounted with
18-inch dish on a tripod for hand transportable station (since good
operating spots are often not drivable).
I'm thinking to bring my handtruck for hauling battery, portable
station in Pelican 1620 case, tripod and antenna. Area on Keweenaw
Peninsula of UP Michigan near Copper Harbor going to be an
adventure. Photos on FB and my website (after). Janet does a fine
job posting a daily photo record of our travels on her FB (Janet Cole).
Thanks for all the info and tips. CM500 will get good use in my home
station with the K3 and FT-736R, as well.

You can plug the CM500 mic straight in to the KX3. You need to
disable the mic button and make sure mic bias is on.
Or, a regular stereo to mono splitter will give cleaner bias for the
mic and will pull out the PTT line to a separate jack. Details here:
