[Elecraft] mike selection

[John Wiener]

I am just starting the RF board so I still have plenty of time...I'm  
a little puzzled about choice of mic.

Is there a difference between the Proset K2 on the Elecraft site and  
the Proset Plus on the Heil site?

How does it compare to the Handi Mic (and which model to select?)?

Frankly, the Heil mics seem awfully expensive.

Why did the MD2/CB1 get discontinued...Is there another mic out there  
that is the same or similar?

The reflector site had a lot of opinions: from Radio Shack to Icom  
and beyond but I could find little in the way of consensus.  Also,  
I'm not far enough with the kit to understand the various rewiring  
requirements and whether I'll end up with limitations down the road  
on choice of mic.
