Larry,

If your ProSet has the HC-5 element, it is NOT a ProSet K2.  The ProSet 
K2 is only sold through Elecraft AFAIK.

ALL ProSet K2s have an electret element.  That is why you need bias 
turned on in the K3 and for the K2 the bias resistor at the microphone 
jack is needed.

All ProSets work nicely with the K3.  If it is the ProSet K2 or the 
ProSet iC, then bias needs to be on, but for the others bias should be 
off.  They can be plugged into the front mic jack with a Kenwood 
adapter, or plugged into the rear panel jacks with no adapter required.
