Dave,
The Elecraft ProSet K2 does use an adapter that is Kenwood compatible,
and will work just fine with the K3 or with a properly wired mic
configuration header on the K2.
The bias is applied to the AF output line and neither pin 5 nor pin 6
are used in the adapter.

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.
