Ron,

I am not going to give you a step by step set of instructions, but the K3 (no hyphen) manual has the pinout for the 8 pin Foster jack, and the KX3 manual has the pinout for the MH3 mic plug. Match up the AF lines and the shell (AF ground) with the 8 pin connections, and match up the PTT on the MH3 plug ring 1 to the PTT pin on the 8 pin. The PTT return is a little more "tricky" and you should connect the MH3 ring 2 to wither pin 7 or pin 8 on the 8 pin Foster plug.

You will need to turn bias on in the K3 menu, and the UP/DN buttons on the MH3 mic will not work - but you should have audio and PTT.

73,
Don W3FPR

Has anyone made an adapter cable to allow the MH-3  mic to be used with
the K-3?   I acquired a KX3 with its mic, and a K-3 without a mic, and
would like to be able to use the same mic on both rigs.
