[Elecraft] KX3 - Microphone idea

[Steve KC8QVO]

I am looking in to the 4 circuit phone plugs and thinking about making my own
microphone. Heil used to have the HC-4 and HC-5 elements available by
themselves. I thought this would make for a neat mic combined with a compact
enclosure. 

Has anyone had experience with wiring up the Heil elements? Have you used
the elements in anything other than a "standard" mic case? IE - film can (if
it fits), pill bottle, or other odds and ends? 

I have a speaker mic for my HT that I could possibly convert as well, not
sure how well it would work. I'd like to keep it functional for the HT
though so an adapter would need to be made to get it in to the KX3. I could
route the audio in to it for a true speaker mic as well. 

This is going to be a lot of fun! Now, when is it going to show up in my
mailbox??? :)
