[Elecraft] K3 - wrong mic wiring?

[Jim Miller]

I am becoming very concerned about connecting my "Kenwood" original Goldline
(HC-5 and "Full-Range") and my full cover Heil headset (same vintage also
wired Kenwood) with the HC-4 to my K3 (when I get it).

Is the "standard" wiring connection for the mic on the K3 the same as the
Kenwood?

Do I need "bias"?

What gets burned up if I get it wrong?

Thanks es 73, de Jim KG0KP
