You are correct that with a 3 lead electret - the V+ and the AF should
both be corrected to pin 1. The remaining pin of the mic element should
connect to pin 7 or pin 8.
Many electret elements only have 2 leads and must obtain the bias
voltage through the AF line, apparently the one you have p
Forgive me for being dense about this! The RS element has a red wire that is
the V+ for the element. The other wire is the shielded audio output wire.
Because the K# has switchable voltage available at pin 1 and from what Lyle
posted I assume a coupling capacitor (which allows both V+ and audio
Are you saying that you connected 2 wires to pin 1? There normally
should only be one wire to pin 1, and that is the AF line which should
connect the other end direct to the + side of the electret element. The
other side of the electret element must connect to ground (pin 7 or pin 8).

I want to replace the element in a Kenwood MC-50 with an electret. I know
that the K3 provides bias voltage to pin 1 on the front mic connector which
is also the audio line - as long as bias is selected in the mic sel menu.
Does this pin already have the coupling capacitor in line
Yes.
