I have been doing some experimentation this morning and have come to the
conclusion that even the DSP can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. To
have the best possible audio one probably needs one of those Heil
microphones.

I don't like fist mics or headsets so I'm not interested in Elecraft's two
offerings. Nor do I want something that looks like it belongs in a BBC
studio. Does anyone know what extra bits are needed to attach a Heil HM-10
Dual to a CB-1 PTT base so that the mic is angled towards the operator and
adjustable (in the manner of the Kenwood MC-50/60 if you know what those are
like)? I guess I'd have to wire up my own cable since Heil don't make any
Elecraft cables.

Alternatively has anyone tried the Adonis desk mic with the ceramic insert
on a K3? I have the electret version and that may account for my audio
sounding a bit "muddy". The ceramic one is supposed to have some treble
emphasis so it might do the job.
