[Elecraft] Desk Mike for the K3 Question

[Chuck - AE4CW]

Lee, I use an inexpensive AKG professional dynamic mic (specific model no
longer available) that looks like a knockoff of a Shure SM-58, the pro-audio
standard for wired dynamic mics.  These mics are under $50 on sale from
musician stores, e.g. Guitar Center.  The output is XLR low-impedance
balanced, so you will need an in-line transformer to convert to the K3's
unbalanced input (available from Radio Shack and Frey's).  I also use a
pro-quality scissor arm boom available from this source:

All up you will out under $100 for a pro-quality set-up that outperforms the
name ham brand for less than half the price, particularly combined with the
K3's TX EQ which can tailor the response as you like for rag-chews or
serious DX.

Ladies "n" Gents....

I use my Heil Headphones HC-4 most of the time for SSB operation, but I was
wondering what people use for a Desk Mike for the K3.  I don't have one if
the Heil set goes bad.  I thought I would pick something up.  What are you
using if anything?

In our day and age it seems that Common Sense is in short supply.  If you
don't have any Common Sense - get some Common Sense and use it.  If you
can't find any Common Sense, ask for help from somebody who has some Common
Sense.  Is Common Sense divine?
