[Elecraft] DESK MICROPHONES FOR K3

[Brian Hemmis]

I have great success with a 30 buck Behringer MX8500 using the Heil Kenwood mic cable and homemade hand or footswitch. I’ve tried MC-60’s in the past but have had RF issues. No RF problems with the Behringer combo. You can get a desk stand for a few bucks at Radio Shack or buy a nice boom off eBay for around $ 60 as I recall.
