[Elecraft] K3 cheap mic

[n4lq]

I have been testing a few mics today and several stations have gone out of 
their way to report how excellent this cheap headset sounds. In fact, one 
guy said it sounded better than a Heil PR40. I worked with a local ham to 
adjust the TX EQ. +3db of #5 and +6db of #6 were added and the CMP set at 
18.
I keep the headset plugged into the rear mic and headphone jack. In the 
menu, I set SPKR+PH to Yes. I'm using an amplified speaker system which has 
it's own volume control. When using the headset, I simply turn down the 
speake volume. I use a foot switch plugged into the PTT jack on the rear of 
the K3.
Note that these also have an in-line volume and mute control. Very handy!
