[Elecraft] K3: CM500 vs. SB40

[N2TK, Tony]

I have been using a Yamaha CM500 for a few years and have been very happy
with it. I just bought a Koss SB40 as a backup. The Koss looks like the
Yamaha except the Koss doesn't use a biased mike element. With the Koss I
had to go to FP.H. Also my breath trips the Vox but I have to have the mike
gain and Vox gain quite a bit higher than the Yamaha to get similar output
for both mikes. I do have a somewhat bassier voice.

My transmit equalizer is 

-16

-16

-7

0

+4

+10

Any thoughts or comments?

Thanks
