While I don't have my new K3S radio yet, I did print the Owners Manual.
It shows the MIC audio connection to be pin #1 as MIC audio, pin #7 as
GRD, and pin #8 as GRD. My question, are pins #7 & #8 the same or is
one analog ground and one chassis. ground. If so, which is analog ground
and which is chassis ground? I'm making a mike cable XLR to 8 pin.

Right on both counts. Because I'm retired from pro audio, I have a
closet full of pro mics. All of the dynamic mics work very well with
the K3. Before one of the guys in our club introduced me to the CM500,
I used an RE11 on a boom stand from my music recording stash. I also
own two Sony MDR7506 headsets, which I no longer use in the shack
because the CM500 is so good.
The TX EQ built into the K3 is quite capable, and is all that is
needed to tailor TX audio to a mic and a voice. An external equalizer
is a waste of money. All it takes to use any dynamic mic with a K3 or
K3S is a suitably wired connector or connector adapter cable. For a
pro mic with an XL-connector, wire pin 2 to the mic input, pin 3 to
mic return, and pin 1 to the connector shell. Or if you have a two
wire cable (center plus shield), wire pin 2 to the center conductor
and to mic input, tie 1 and 3 together to the shield, and connect to
the K3 connector shell.
