[Elecraft] K3 Front Panel mic audio issues with Microham Micro Keyer II

[Mike Fatchett W0MU]

I am using a Heil Pro set with a HC4 or 5 element and it sounds great when
hooked up to the rear input of the K3.  If connected through the Microkeyer
II and the front panel the audio sounds distorted.

I have tried the High and Low settings in Main.

I do not have a mic that I can hook into the front panel which makes it
difficult to isolate.

The Micro Keyer II was hooked up to my FT 1000MP and worked great.

Any suggestions on where to go next?
