I have tried several mics with my K2 and the best reports are from an old
Midland CB hand mic that I got free at a hamfest. It's an ugly old black
thing but it works.

I got one like that from Maplin several years ago. You could run over it

What is all the noise about microphone compatibility? We are radio
amateurs, it should be simple enough to wire a microphone for a rig.
Just look at the pin outs on the mic and the rig and wire accordingly.
The circuitry is not exactly complex!
If we buy
CB rigs are much easier. They come with a microphone. :-)

What we must remember, Stewart, is that the radio amateurs of today are
a different breed from those when we took out our licences. The
qualifications are different and some newly licensed amateurs are little
more than CB or 'appliance' operators.
Indeed, the K3 itself does not require any
What I have done with all my non-rig-specific microphones (2) and Heil
headset/mics (3) is to install a simple stereo 1/4 jack on them. Then I
have short pigtail adapters with the rig-correct mic plug on one end and a
1/4 stereo plug on the other. Makes it easy for going from one rig to
