[Elecraft] Handheld Mic Advice

[Don Wilhelm]

Joel,

Well since you specified a hand-held microphone, no one should mention 
the CM500 since it is a "headset" (headphone and boom microphone 
combination).  I can agree that the Sony MDR series are headphones that 
are very good and comfortable.

I would strongly recommend the MH2 (note, there are no 'dashes' in 
Elecraft equipment designations except for the N-Gen and the 2T-Gen 
mini-modules).

73,
