It appears that MFJ makes a box, designed to convert one brand’s mic connector to others.  It appears to be programmable, using jumpers.  

I believe the Foster connectors on the K3 or K3S are wired the same as Kenwood’s.

The model number is MFJ 1263.  I have not used or seen one, so cannot comment on its utility.

I have no microphone for my K3. I am usually on CW or the digital modes.
Now I want to get on the KY Phone Net on 3838.

So I talked DXEngineering and they know of no adapter plug/cable.

So, I have an Icom SM-50 mic  and a Yaesu MD-100 mic.

Anyone know of an adapter connector that would fit either to adapt them to the K3?
Or maybe a universal box that lets me plug all the mic's in and have a cable to the K3 ....
Also run an Icom IC-9700 FWIW.
