Happy to report my SSB microphone transmit path is working again.

With all connections previously verified correct, and K3 configuration as described---the variable changed was my Time Warner Cable modem+router. The user interface wouldn't accept my login (!) and the TWC technician (yes a 2-hour call) similarly had extreme difficulty getting into the router. We think the router was stuck in some kind of an update cycle. Anyway removing ALL power for a minute and allowing the modem to complete a full connection with TWC fixed all connections for remote rig.

Thanks to all who had suggestions. Back up and running!

The "real" microphone is plugged into the left side jacks of the K3/0 mini. I'm assuming the transmit audio goes through the RRC codecs and the reconstructed audio comes out of the Radio RRC via the AuxMic 8-pin jack. My Elecraft adapter cable then splits this AuxMic output into PTT and microphone audio. Using the rear panel microphone input (and the menu item set for RP "rear panel"). That K3 menu also has options for low and high input gain, and the ability to apply bias voltage (for electret condensor microphones). I'll try verifying the setting with the RRCs "not connected" and then establish the connection between the RRCs. Thanks, Rick N6CY

Cannot transmit SSB voice via remote rig system, although SSB has worked well in the past.
Rig control and CW functions okay. All receive functions, including speaker audio, working okay.

Configuration and actions taken so far:
K3 Twin with local computer control (N1MM Logger Plus).
Heil Media Proset plugged into left jacks of K3/0 mini.
K3/0 mini with Elecraft RRIGSET cables, connected to Radio RRC (RRC-1258MkII).
Remote Rig interface boxes connected via wired home network. Control RRC is in home office. Radio RRC is in garage.
Control RRC (RRC-1258MkII) connected to K3/100.
K3/100 transceiver verified functioning properly. Have plugged in the headset directly to the rig, and it transmits SSB voice just fine.
Unplugged and reseated all external connectors to each of the two RRC interface boxes.
