[Elecraft] MH2 Microphone audio quality

Considering another K3 for mobile and portable use. My shack contains
K3 #24, using a Heil Goldline on the narrow setting. This combination
produces very clear and penetrating TX audio.
K3 mobile use means a handheld mic, which the Goldie is not. I'm
considering the MH2 (and other handheld mics) for this mobile/portable
ECOM application, but have only heard one MH2/K3 on the air, and that
was without a comparison test (and it was very brief). I wasn't
underwhelmed, but didn't get enough to go on for a fair evaluation.
Most of my operations right now are with Navy-Marine Corps MARS but I
also work a little SSB on the weekends, and will do more of this when
the mobile is in place. Like anyone else, I want it to sound as good
as the base rig, if possible.
Doesn't anyone have feedback on the MH2 with the K3? For example:
- Clarity of the voice, how narrow banded does it sound without TX EQ?
- What is the difference between the Goldie on Narrow and the MH2?
- Any recommended TX EQ settings?
- Has anyone run comparison spectra, using the K3 with MH2 and some
other mobile mic(s)? Would prefer the RX spectrums if available.
Thanks for ANY feedback!
