[Elecraft] Boom & Mike for K3

[David Gilbert]

I don't know why anyone would spend that kind of money for Heil gear 
when there are better, cheaper, and more reliable alternatives.   Buy a 
decent quality microphone boom (check out your local musician supply 
store) and almost ANY decent quality electret computer microphone.   A 
$15 computer mic will sound as good on the K3 as any Heil mic.

Sorry if this has been addressed before.  I'm hoping to spend more time in
my shack and I'd like some opinions or advice on a good quality boom and
mike for the K3.  I suppose I'd spend $300-$500 if I had to although that
is on the top end.  The use would be for operating on scheduled,
controlled nets and rag chewing.  As a point of reference, a friend has
suggested the Heil PL2T boom and PR 781 mike.  (He has a high-end Icom).
I already have a couple of headsets and hand mikes so this inquiry is just
on the boom and mike.
Thanks, Jim NO0B
