[Elecraft] K3: CM500 vs. SB40

[Walter Underwood]

The SB45 does appear to go around your ear.

Another option is to add a boom mic to the headphones you like. The ModMic attaches to headphones.

Interesting, one of their sales regions is “Amateur Radio”. Here is a ModMic vendor that includes some mic adaptors.

They are also available at B&H and Amazon.
