[Elecraft] SSB set up help

[Joe K2UF]

I am trying to get my K3 set up for SS SSB.  I have never used my K3 for
SSB.  Using the Yamaha CM500  mic plugged into rear panel mic jack.  

The following are the K3 settings:
MIC+LIN  = on
MIC SEL  = rp.h  bias
MODE  = USB
VOX = on
Mic gain  =  60 *
Cmp  = 40 *

*  tried all different settings

I am not sure what I am doing wrong but when I try talking into the mic
nothing happens.  Anyone using this mic/k3 combination able to help me.
