Not true ... for example, the TS-570 manual says: Compatible microphones include the MC-43S, MC-47, MC-60A, MC-80, MC-85, and MC-90. The MC-60A, MC-80, and MC-85 are all electret mics or have a built in preamplifier that requires power on pin 5 of the mic connector and a blocking capacitor in the microphone lead. None of them will work with the K3 without modification. The TS-870 and TS-2000 have a similar list of "compatible" microphones. 73, ...
