Hello group,
Working phone on 40m tonight, and noticed that I could only set mic gain to
3 before ALC maxed out on the K3's meter. Is this normal? I'm using the
stock Elecraft hand mic.

You might have MENU:MIC SEL set to rP.H or FP.H. You can use the '1'
key on the keypad to drop this gain to .L if that is the problem.
It just sounds like the mic input signal / gain is too hot. I have
four mics here that are used with the K3 and typically need to run MIC
GAIN at between 15 and
Maybe your SWR is really high?

James,
Do you have an RF in the shack problem there? Just a guess, but one
possible explanation.
It sounds to me like the mic input of the K3 is tolerating low level RF,
but as the amount of RF increases, the RF feedback overloads the mic input.
Have you changed anything in your antenna field
