[Elecraft] K3 What mics are proplr using for SSB?

[Fern Rivard]

Gene:

    Looking at your transmit audio equilizer settings. You would accomplish the very same effect if you dropped all of your settings by 3 db. In other words set as follows:
50 @ 0,  100 @ +4, 200 @ 0, 400 @+1, 800 @ -3, 1.2 @ +4, 2.4 @ +4, 3.2 @ +4.

I have been using a commercial dynamic hand mic with the UP/DOWN features which I do NOT have to use the transmit audio equilizer at all as the audio sounds best with all settings at zero. This tells me that this mic is a perfect match for my voice for the K3. I get very similar results when I used my Shure 444D dynamic mic where again I do NOT require the use of the transmit equilizer as it sounds best in all settings at zero. However, if I use the optional electret hand mic from Elecraft then I have to play with the transmit audio equilizer to make it sound better but it never sounds as good as either of my dynamic microphones.
    Just my 2 cents worth from Fern   VE7GZ with K3 serial #412.

I tried 3 mics with my K3, Goldline G4 wide setting, RE20, and Audio-Technica
3035 which needs a phontom pwr supply.  All worked great and received
glowing audio reports. All were previously used with a Kenwood ts870 and no
wiring changes were made to the mic plug.  I use a hand held PTT switch.

TX eq settings were the same for all: 50 +3, 100 +7, 200 +3, 400 +4, 800-0,
1.2,2.4,3.2 +7.
                                         Mic Gain       Comp.
G4                                         15               7
RE20                                      11               22
3035                                       6                12

With ESSB turned on (3.5) reports were better yet.  I do not use ESSB very
often but very nice to have.  My voice I feel is crummy and not very
suitable for bradcasting.

Currently use the 3035, RE20 is with another rig, G4 is backup.

Your milage may vary :>)
