[Elecraft] Which Heil Prosets should we carry?

[David Yarnes]

Yes, you are right that  it could be done that way, and I have thought about 
that.  But I do appreciate the suggestion.  However, I would really like 
something that is more portable and could  travel with the K3.  I consider 
the K3 to be a very portable radio, and I intend to take it with me whenever 
practical.  I am thinking about something smaller and lighter than some sort 
of desk attachment arrangement which would probably have a heavier gooseneck 
as well.  Kenwood, I think, makes a small desk microphone with a small 
diameter gooseneck and small cartridge housing.  I would like something 
along that line if possible--small, lightweight, and easily transported. 
Being able to attach it somehow to the rig seemed a good idea to me as it 
could eliminate the need for a base or heavy table clamp arrangement.
