[Elecraft] Desk microphones for the K3

[Joe W2KJ]

Howdy Gang:

I needed a HI Z mike for my TR7 and decided on the MC50....just rewired the plug to be compatible with the TR7 and it works FB.

I also got an MC60A mike for my K3...got an 8 to 4 pin mike adaptor, which I had to re-wire,  and  set bias to OFF on the FP)...the K3 likes it and I get good audio reports.

OK...so why not go one further...I got an MC50 for my Drake T4XC and it works great.

No RFI or any other issues with any of the rigs...maybe I'm just lucky.

The MC50 andMC60A can be switch from LO to HI Z which makes them extremely versatile in terms of old and new rigs they will work with.

 I do really like the ability to remove the mike from its holder and use it like a hand mike.

Funny, I'm 100% CW and QRP except for one weekly sked on SSB with a retired buddy....plus I love to keep the older classic rigs on the air...perhaps since I grew up with them (grin).

My favorite rig hands down is the KX3...simply the ultimate in small, portable QRP gear.
