[Elecraft] Which Heil Prosets should we carry?

[Kurt Pawlikowski]

Jim,

    I can think of a few good reasons, the first is "one stop shopping." 
That is, convenience. The second is, if the radio manufacture caries a 
compatible product, you are assured that it will be configured correctly 
and have the same general quality and performance levels. And while yes, 
you could go direct to the manufacture, it's sometimes nice to have that 
little funky "E" on an OEM version of the same thing. Every time you 
raise a Icon, Yaesu, Kenwood or other "branded" mike to use it, the one 
thing you'll be reminded of is the manufacturer. I would expect that 
none of them make their own elements. I think the advertising value of 
an OEM microphone alone is worth the trouble.

    ... IMNSHO (In My Not So Humble Opinion)...

    Regards,
