Gary;
I too have just been using a cheap "computer" mic with good results that I
bought for $2. Just follow the directions as described by Brendan and you
should be good to go. However, if you want PTT , you will have to use an
external switch.

I have been getting excellent ssb results recently using a Computer mic.
Just plug it in the rear mic socket and select rear connector, Hi with
Bias, if drive level is too high try rP.L bIAS instead of rP.H bIAS
pretty much ANY computer mic will do. The one I use currently I bought on
Ebay for a pound.
Mics for the ham radio market are in the main all about marketing, if it
works ok on Skype it'll work ok on the K3
Enjoy your K3, Mine prompted the sale of the Icom 7800

Hi All,
I got really excited when the K3 turned up in the post. I suppose you
cannot
imagine the look on my face when I opened it all up and lifted all the
contents onto the bench in the shack and discovered that my K3 arrived
without a microphone.
I know, read the order form fully next time.
Welll for 3 grand, I didn't think I had to order and pay extra for a fist
mic. Kinda took the excitement right out of my sails.
I live in what is called "Outback" queensland, Australia, not the place
where I can find a spare Microphone laying around unused. The testing
will
have to wait a week or so now till i find a Mic.

Don‘t complain. Nobody will understand. Or care. And certainly don‘t
try
to fix the situation yourself. It‘s dangerous. Leave it to a highly
untrained, unqualified, expendable professional.
