Hi Charles,
We have been using this pin out for microphones on our rigs since we
introduced the K2 nine years ago. It is 100% compatible with Kenwood
dynamic microphones in addition to ours. It was picked so there would be
a wide range of existing mics you could use right when we introduced the
K2. We just continued it on the K3 to maintain compatibility with our
prior microphones etc. I personally have Kenwood hand mics from my
TS-950, VHF mobile rigs and a MC-60 desk mic that work well with the K2
and K3.

K3 with Yet ANOTHER non-standard mic pin-out. Now ham radio has at least 4,
and with Ten Tec, maybe a fifth.
Then there was the TR-3/4 which took a SMALLER "1/4" phone plug.... like
Collins; and
the old 4 pin plug, too....... ENOUGH !!!!!!
