[Elecraft] Heil handmike discontinued.

[EricJ]

Probably nothing other than low sales volume.

I think most hams equate hand mike = cheap mike. OK for mobile work, but not
in the shack. So a premium hand mike is probably not going to be a big
seller for any vendor. I have a drawer full of hand mikes from all the rigs
I've bought over the years that advertised "Mic Included!".

I wonder if a guy could just buy the Heil-Icom element and stuff it in one
of the thousand Kenwood hand mikes available at every swap meet? Anybody had
any experience with that?

Which leads to the question: why? Some of us who already have one may wonder
what's wrong with it....
