My Proset K2 works fine in the front connector of my K2 using the
supplied adapter cable.
This was purchased along with the K3.
The Mic is a 'mono' style 3.5mm (pretty sure it's not 1/8", but the
ever so slightly larger 3.5mm) connector, so the bias must be supplied
to the tip at a guess.
I normally use it in the rear mic socket and so I just set MENU MIC
SEL = RP.L BIAS
(rear panel, low mic gain with bias).

Fred and All,
I believe the adapter supplied with the Elecraft Pro Set is a true
Kenwood adapter. On the K2 you wired the radio for whatever
microphone you wanted. If you wanted to use a Kenwood microphone
setup you wired the K2 accordingly. That would put bias on pin 5.
The Elecraft Pro Set, which is an electret with the "IC" cartridge,
was deemed to be fully "Kenwood compatible, and so they just
supplied a Kenwood adapter with the Pro Set, and that worked fine on
a K2 wired for Kenwood. Along comes the K3, with bias preset on pin
6, and they are still sending out the Kenwood adapter. I think
that's why it doesn't work for you. I have the Elecraft Pro Set
also, and I just use the jacks on the back of the K3--no adapter used.
