Mike,
I am wondering if the shaft (sleeve) on the mic plug is just a bit too
long - try backing the plug out a tiny bit at a time (thickness of heavy
paper) to see if that takes care of it.
That is all I can think of. I suggest you contact [email protected]
for additional suggestions.
The most positive test would be for you to try that same mic in a
different KX3 or KX3. If it works OK, then you will know that you have
a problem with your mic jack in the KX2 - even though it behaved with
the stereo plug.
I would not suggest taking the mic apart, I suspect from your ohmmeter
measurement that the mic is OK and the problem is with the plug.

Hi
No, nothing else plugged into the radio.
As for a 2nd Mic, not at this time and I am not at home near my
workbench which has lots of bits to try things. If I have time
tonight, I will open up the Mic and do some more tracing.
I think we have gone as far as we can go at this point given the tools
I have. I'll do more lab work on it when I get back home next week.
I got the internal mic to work as it should, so I can make do with
that for the time being.
thanks for your help.

Mike,
Solution unknown - either you have a bad mic plug on that MH3, or
there
is a problem with your KX2 mic jack.
Do you know anyone else who has a KX2 or KX3 that could try your
microphone?
