[Elecraft] Now which mic can I use.

[Timothy Gordish]

Hmmm….

For my operating needs I think I will just get the mike from Elecraft.  I would interested in knowing if anyone else uses the Heil headset with any luck.

I am looking forward to using my Bencher Hexkey to send PSK.  That sounds like a real hoot.

In any event, you likely can treat it as dynamic (no DC bias needed).  The Yaesu mic may not have the proper pin-out, but it would work if re-wired.  And the netbook headset might work, too, but you would have to use the XMIT button on the front panel or VOX... (or wire up a PTT gizmo).
