Ty,

I have not tried an electret element, but I have a Heil HC-5 element in 
my D-104 frame that I have been quite pleased with.  I made my own 
'filling' for the much smaller sized element, but Heilsound does sell a 
kit for just that purpose.

Just use connectors for the AF and PTT that mate with the K3 rear 
connectors and you should be all set.  I recommend shielded wire all the 
way for the AF and AF ground wires.

73,
Don W3FPR
