Shure made some of the first high quality desk mics for radio, and they 
still make them. They were the first, I believe, to build in a peak 
around 3kHz to compensate for the rolloff of the SSB filter (in the 
1950s). Current model is the 450 Series II. The 444 is an earlier version.

These are dynamic mics, and last virtually forever. Buy them used for a 
third of the price. All that it takes to make them work with an Elecraft 
rig is a properly wired mic connector. And, of course, with a K3 or KX3, 
tweak TXEQ for your voice with that mic.
