According to pg 13 of the K3 manual: "MIC An Elecraft MH2, MD2, Proset-K2, or other compatible mic can be used (see pinout below). To select the front- or rear-panel mic, and to turn bias on/off, use the MAIN:MIC SEL menu entry. Bias must be turned on for electret mics (e.g. MH2, MD2, Proset). It must be off for dynamic mics (e.g. Heil mics using HC4 or HC5 elements)."
My MH2 hand mic works fine here with a K3. Since the pin configuration on a K2 is adjustable, using jumpers on the front panel, maybe it is different. The KSB2 manual has a table explaining the jumper settings for various microphones.
