Hi, Bill! The microphone connection has a fair number of possibilities.
If you're using the front-panel 8-pin "Foster" connector, then you might be using an inappropriate Heil adapter that bridges between the 1/8" mono microphone plug and the K3. For the Elecraft K3, you should be using Heil's AD-1K, the red "Kenwood" adapter to match Elecraft's 8-pin front-panel microphone jack. The blue Icom adapter won't work. If you don't have one of those handy, you might try skipping the adapter and plugging the 1/8" mono connector directly into the K3 back panel "mic" connector. The K3 has some front panel config and main menu options related to microphone (which connector you're using, whether or not to add bias, microphone gain range). See the discussion of the Mic connector on the Front Panel and Rear Panel pages of the K3 Owner's manual. My best guess is that you might be using a Heil blue Icom adapter.
