OTOH... my wife and I have Bluetooth earbud/microphone sets we can "pair"
with our cell phones. Perhaps a teeny tiny additional circuit in the KX3
would allow me to pair my Bluetooth gizmo with the KX3.
While you are doing this, might as well add voice recognition software so I
can say "band up" or "band down" or "VFO up" or "VFO down" or "nail that CW
caller" (with voice to CW translation at the callers speed). No need for CW
to voice translation, just learn International Morse code.

In reply to Milverton of no identity.
If you give it more thought, with an internal mic, it would remove the
need
for adding a mic to the rucksack when out /P, for which the KX3 is
designed.
Have you read Wayne's 4lb challenge?
If you want to sit at home with a mic in hand, or a desktop mic weighing
as
much as the KX3 and natter to your buddies then you wouldn't be bothered
by
a pinhole on the fascia, unless dreadfully fussy. Lots of suggestions
have
been made for the KX3 so far and if they don't get applied to the KX3,
maybe
they'll be in the KX4. Anyway, it'll need to shrink a heck of a lot
before
it becomes a cellphone Hi!

Are we buying a HF QRP Radio that has just about everything but the
kitchen
sink, not to mention the option
of having 2 Meter module inside?
OR! Do we want a cell phone?

That's a darned good idea, David.
I'm looking at a camera right now and its mic orifice is only about half a
mm in diameter and looking at the size of the camera, its whizzy in and
out
lens, battery et al, the mic must be very small indeed.
Maybe a $20 retro-fit kit? Mic, wiring and a tiny drillbit Hi!
