[Elecraft] [K3] Preferred or Popular Mic For the K3

[Joe Subich, W4TV]

EV (ElectroVoice) had several good paging and "two way" dispatch
mics over the years.  Most are discontinued but there are still
a couple mics with PTT and some of the Broadcast/Performance mics
include "cough switches" that can be configured for PTT.
