Sorry, but you guys are WAY over the edge on this. As a retired 
recording engineer, I own a bunch of great large and small diaphragm 
mics, both condensers and dynamics, that put these mics to shame, but I 
wouldn't waste any of them in a ham station. I'm VERY happy with a 
Yamaha CM500 since W6XU turned me on to it around 2009, at a fraction of 
the cost. It's plugged straight into the rear panel mic jack of my K3s 
(plural, not the new K3S). Any decent electret will work as well, 
especially with the EQ built into a K3, K3S, KX3, KX2. Those large 
diaphragm mics are great for when I'm recording a symphony orchestra or 
a great jazz big band, but they are a waste in the ham shack.
