See 

http://audiosystemsgroup.com/HamInterfacing.pdf 

for detailed advice on choosing mics to minimize noise pickup, and 
suitable TXEQ settings.  Once you've done that, if you still have 
noise, the K3 has a DSP setting that acts as a TX noise gate. Study 
the doc files for the later versions of K3 software.
