Yes.

Me too. 

Another point about setting levels. The CM500 is a pretty "hot" mic -- 
that is, it puts out a lot of voltage -- so you will want to use the 
LOW setting for mic gain (in the K3 setup menu). 

Once you have done that, AND set the TX EQ as David recommends, THEN 
follow the directions in the K3 manual to set audio levels. The 
executive summary of that is set Display so that it reads ALC and 
compression, use the mic gain to set for a given ALC reading, then set 
Compression to get 10dB of compression as indicated on the front panel 
meter.
