K3 front panel:  Kenwood MC-50 with a 4 pin to 8 pin adapter, set for
high impedance and the K3 set for high impedance.  It seemed to drive
better with high impedance than low impedance.

K3 rear panel:  Yamaha CM-500, Bias turned on and set for low impedance.

I have macros in the K3 utility to set the compression and mic gain
levels for each mic.  I do not change the TX equalization when I change
mics.

The MC-50 has been rock solid.  The MC-60A I had tried before, not so
much.
