Jim,
Eric has already provided the answer that the Elecraft microphone pinout
is compatible with Kenwood dynamic mics. Those Kenwood wired mics that
have an internal preamp will likely *not* work.
I do not have any information about your particular cables, but...
One must know the connection information for any particular microphone
or cable that you intend to use - I need to be certain that the
transceiver will not destroy the microphone nor will the microphone
damage the transceiver - one should not pick up just any old mic and
plug it in without checking first.
If you have a Kenwood mic, all that is necessary is to check for a
connection at the mic plug pins 5 and 6 - if there is *no* connection to
these pins, it should work with the K3. The K3 is Kenwood *compatible*,
but not Kenwood *identical*.
G4WPW has compiled a lot of good information about many, many
microphones which can be found at http://www.qsl.net/g4wpw/date.html, or
use Google and other search engines to seek the information you need.
We here on this reflector have information related to the Elecraft
equipment, but there are so many microphones out there with different
characteristics that it is unreasonable to expect that we here on this
reflector will be able to provide accurate information about any
particular microphone (unless you are asking us to do the research for
you - and that is just not reasonable IMHO).

-Front mic socket not compatible with any other mfg. that I can find.
I was wondering if anyone else had this experience -- figured it was just a
dud with my K3. The connectors on the radio-specific cables ordered with my
NCS-3240 fit every other radio in the shack. They do NOT fit the K3 front
panel MIC connector.
FWIW
