[Elecraft] [K3] Ordered K3 at Dayton

[WB8ENE]

I placed my order for a K3 at Dayton yesterday after talking with Wayne and a
few others at the Elecraft booth.  Wayne is a very popular guy, so I had to
wait for an opening a couple of times.  Seems like these guys couldn't even
get a minute alone to get something to eat!  Wayne was very helpful with my
questions about QSK on the K3 vs. the Orion II, CW roofing filters, hardware
mods, and using high impedance microphones, although I first asked Eric
about using my Shure 444 microphone (older model with high impedance only). 
He told me that I might need a single transistor circuit to transform the
impedance, but he also told me that Wayne would be a better person to ask. 
When I finally got the chance to talk to Wayne again, he told me that Eric
would probably be able to help me more on the microphone question, but told
me that it should work.

Has anyone tried using the Shure 444 microphone on the K3?  Any comments
will be appreciated.

I look forward to assembling my new K3 soon, but judging by all the orders
being placed at Dayton, I assume it may take a couple extra days for my
order to be processed.  Thanks Wayne, Eric, and the rest of the gang from
Elecraft.  You were all very helpful.  I appreciate the fact that I was able
to talk to the guys who designed the K3.  Oh, and thanks for the K3 button
Eric.
