[Elecraft] K3 Microphone options

[WILLIS COOKE]

I have a Heil HC4 mike on my headset and all it would
take is a tie-wrap or a piece of tape. It is just a
piece of 1/8 tubing with a mike on one end and a cord
through the middle with a mic connector on the end. 
But I like the HC10 headset that goes with it.  I
don't have a K3 to use it with yet, but it does a
super job with my TS-850
