[Elecraft] K3 Microphone Choices

[Fred Smith]

One thing I did want to add to that post is I have mic's that have cost from
$35-550 including the Yaesu MD-200 the $400 desk mic and a couple of
professional recording ones. The PR-781 did the very best for me for several
reasons, I used it only on radios that had a full EQ for the transmit so it
could be tailored to my voice and a mic that added nothing i.e. flat as it
should be.

Plus once you go to a boom mic you will never want a desk mic again, well if
all you do is rag chew you might not. Hands free operation is great for
DX'ing and an occasional contest looking for band countries to type/write
with.

I use a Heil PR-781 boom mic that was designed for the high end amateur
transceivers or so Bob Heil told me when I started to buy a PR-40. I thought
quite a bit of him after that because the PR-40 was double the cost of the
781, but I have always received excellent reports with it. I used it with my
FTDX-5000MP and now my 2 K3's in a SO2R setup.

Good evening.  I have a K3 and really love it.  I am looking at purchasing a
new microphone pretty soon.  I am currently using a Kenwood  MC-60 and I get
excellent reports on my modulation. But I have been reading alot about the
Heil microphones and was wondering what Heil microphone would work good with
my system.  I basically like to operate for DX though I do chat from time to
time on some nets.  Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!!!  Mark KB3Z
