[Elecraft] mic

[Brian Denley]

Agreed Jim but I haven't spent much money on any of the mic stuff and I also used a cheap ($40) headset rather frequently.  I do, however, prefer the dynamic mics.  The condensers that I have tried seem to pick up way too much background noise.

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.
