[Elecraft] K3 Microphone

[Dick Dievendorff]

My $10K ICOM 7800 also came without a microphone.  I think mobile rigs would
be expected to come with a microphone, but not necessarily a desktop rig.

We have a lot of choices for microphones and if the K3 (or IC-7800) came
with a little dinky microphone I'd never have used it, and would have had to
store it for when I might eventually sell the rig.

Well for 3 grand, I didn't think I had to order and pay extra for a fist
mic. Kinda took the excitement right out of my sails.

I guess most new rigs come with mics, ea?  The only radios I've ever
bought new were the K2 and K3 and I'm glad neither came with a mic.  I'm
a CW guy and I don't want to pay for a mic that won't get used.

Don't most people who are going to use SSB end up with a better mic
anyway?  Maybe not, maybe many use the one that came with the rig.
