[Elecraft] Mic for K3

[David Dunn]

I bought the standard mic from Elecraft with my K3 kit.  I thought it quite
an expensive option.

It works perfectly well, but it is somewhat bulky.
The K3 has such a vast range of audio adjustment on rx and tx  I have tried
many other mics on it and all work perfectly well.   I am very particular
about audio quality. And do serous on air tests with other stations.
  But probably 95% of my use is on CW.

As I prefer to use a headset,   I bought 5 electret inserts at a rally for
one pound (for 5)  and made up a boom device
These seem to be at least as good, or better  than all the other mics I have
tried.   so  the convenience and neatness of  the headset/boom has made the
standard mic almost redundant.
    20 pence is my idea of good value!
