[Elecraft] K3 Mics

[Brian Alsop]

David,

Yes this is a very interesting phenomenon.  Add external gazillion band 
equalizers, compressors, noise gates, $30 connectors, fancy mike 
mounting hardware et al to the mix. All to massage an under 3KHz 
bandwidth signal.

However it isn't just the phone guys. Some CW guys spent many hundreds 
of dollars for a paddle. All it does is close two contacts.

I suspect in both cases the point of diminishing returns is reached far 
earlier than these price levels.  However, it is good for the economy. 
 
 


Like an OT said;  If you want to feel your have a strong signal, turn up 
the monitor level. In other words, it's often an in the head game.
