Paul and all,
That statement *is* true - however it may be misleading for those not
familiar with the K2 wiring for the Kenwood microphone. Pins 5 and 6
are *not* wired to the microphone configuration header in the K2 for a
Kenwood microphone (except for those Kenwood microphones which have an
amplifier or an electret element).
I can make a statement that is true:
"The K3 is compatible with any Kenwood 8 pin microphone that does not
connect to either pin 5 or pin 6 of the connector." If one pulls back
the Foster plug shell, he can check to see if anything is connected to
these pins.
It could also be said another way - the K3 mic connector is compatible
with a Kenwood dynamic microphone. Conversely, a Kenwood amplified or
electret microphone will *not* be compatible with the K3.

I see it and it states this:
"The K3 8-pin microphone connector is wired the same as the K2 using
the Kenwood pin-out."
