Hi Richard,
Again, apologies to you and others for the long delay. Our supplier had their
own supply chain problems, thanks to the pandemic, and they had to go through
two sets of prototypes to get everything dialed in.
Let us know how the mic works.

FYI: My long ago ordered MH3 mic arrived today. Feels good, but I have not
used it yet.
Thought some would like to know that they are shipping.

Dean,
I wish I could tell you. I ordered the same kx2 shack-in-a-box before Xmas
last year (after a short 1-2 month wait) and was overjoyed to receive it in
January. I love the rig btw.
They know there was no mic included,(I've sent emails, but there was nothing

I bought a KX2 shack in the box package back in February.
I received the radio around June but still haven't received the Mic.
Any idea when these will be available?
Thanks

Geert,
From your description of the "straight connections" and round plug, I
believe you are referring to the MH4 - the original question was about
the MH3 which has a 1/8 inch TRRS plug and resistors in the microphone
for the buttons.
The MH4 is usable with the K2 and K3, the MH3 is usable

Barry,
I do not believe that is true anymore (except for the ProSet-K2).
The original MH2 microphone was Heil, but that was changed a very long
time ago.
Since you just bought the MH3, your best recourse is to contact Elecraft
about a replacement.

I would contact Heil. The mics that Elecraft use/sells are theirs. Heil
should be able to get your answers.

Hi Kent
You might find that getting another Mic and cabling it correctly might be
your best option.
Elecraft does what other vendors do. Mic's are disposable and most are
made off shore.

Or just spend the ~$70 and buy an MH2. It's already wired ready to go.

Ron,
No. Pin 6 is NOT bias, but a source of 8 volts.
Bias to the microphone is applied through a resistor, not directly from
a voltage source.
All you need to do is turn BIAS on in the MIC SEL menu. See the K3
manual for the button to tap to toggle the bias setting.

Thanks, Don. I was thinking along those lines, but I wasn't sure about
the getting bias from the K3. On the Foster plug I am wiring, should
pin 6 (bias) be connected to pin 1 to supply bias?

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 o

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.
Any wiring tips?

Neal,
Have you tried plugging it into the rear panel Mic connector? - set bias
on and it should work just fine on the K3.
Yes, it will not work with the front panel 8 pin jack without an adapter.
