Tnx to all that responded. I now have the hand mic working as it should be- all 
it took was to toggle the mic gain to high. However, the mic of choice will be 
via the rear panel and it will take some more detective work. The manual says 
it is a mono jack but I think what threw me was that the microKeyer employs a 
stereo plug. If indeed it is a mono jack, I will need to jumper the ring and 
the shield on the stereo plug that terminates the mic cord (other end is a 3 
pin XLR). The mic is a dynamic one, a Heil PR-20. It seems to make sense that 
the low levels of less than stellar audio would be due to the return floating 
in a trs plug when the ring is unconnected. The shield must be picking up some 
to give me something. The cable is good so only other option is bad mic but I 
haven't tried it on another radio yet. Sounds like a project for a three day 
weekend, hi. 

Does the K3 employ a mono or stero jack for the rear mic connection?

tnx es 73,
Jim W5QM
