[Elecraft] MH2 question

[Fred Jensen]

Yeah, this *has* to be a mis-communications somewhere.  I use the Proset 
with the iC2 electret element from Elecraft.  I regularly get 
unsolicited "really great audio" comments in contests, I'll likely get 
several in the IARU this weakend if I decide to try out phone.  I have a 
nondescript, almost non-noticeable voice [latter based on the number of 
times my wife interrupts me with a totally different subject :-)] so I 
know it's not me, I do NOT sound like Walter Cronkite.

Most non-carbon mics are pretty flat over the nominal 2.8 KHz 
communications bandwidth, I really don't think you need a mic to match 
your voice.  The K3's TX EQ can make a world of difference however, and 
apparently does for me.  I have the SSB adapter in my K2 but I've never 
connected a mic to it.

73,
