Hi Lee,

I did exactly what you're thinking about doing.  Instead of using the
bias box as-is, I rewired the line side of it to use the 8 pin MIC
connector.  It works fine this way.  You can double-side tape the bias
box to the underside of a shelf or next to the radio.

I have the Goldline and external speakers connected to the rear panel,
leaving the front panel the only convenient place for the CM500.  This
arrangement works quite well.

I am assuming, although there is no documentation, that I could plug the jack coming out of the "battery connector box thingy" to the K3 through my Heil plug adapter.  The battery powers the mike but passes through the audio.
