An aerodynamics engineer will tell you a bumblebee cannot fly. Plug it
in, front or rear, set the MIC SEL menu appropriately and see how it
works. I have a very old "Dispatcher" "variable reluctance" mic. I
have no idea if it is Hi-Z or Lo-Z, and I don't know it's freq

Well, that's wonderful procedure for someone who has a rich easy to

I don't have such a voice. Even when I'm trying to stage project, I sound
like I'm talking through a muffle.
What the K3 voice processing does for me is to elevate the highs enough so

After reading all the comments about doing this and doing that, all I can
say is ...
I've made tens of thousands of SSB contacts using a fifty-year-old D-104
directly into the K3 with no resistors, no amplifiers, no transformers, no
nothing. Audio quality reports were always outstanding.

If there's enough gain, probably work fine. As large an R as possible. The
termination Z affects the low freq response of the element. I realize some
here aren't keen on that, but it makes a difference :-)

Grant,
Then why not just put a 1 megohm or so resistor in series with the mic
element. I believe the K3 mic input has adequate gain to compensate for
it, and it will keep the crystal (or ceramic) mic element happy.
