[Elecraft] K3S boom mic ensemble options.

My first thought was that you were asking about a "studio type boom" for 
your microphone.  If so read on, if not delete now.  I bought the PSA1 
boom from R0DE on Amazon for a decent price.  Mine came with both the 
edge clamp base and the "cone" base for putting in a hole drilled into 
your desk.  Mounting it on the edge of the station desk was very very 
easy.  One day I may get around to drilling a hole.

I have used the R0DE PSA1 boom for the last 3 years and it has worked 
very well with zero problems on holding the mic wherever I want it nor 
has there been any problems with the clamp holding firmly to the edge of 
the station table/shelving.  There is a weight spec for the microphone 
that is to be used with the boom so be sure to look at that.  Buy the 
boom, put whatever XLR mic you want on it and buy the Heil XLR cable 
needed for your mic and radio.  You're then done with the hardware and 
it's just a matter of setting up your mic in the radio.  I have used the 
Heil PR781 and a nice Shure on the boom with no problems.  Good luck.

Everything is sold in too many subassemblies. I’ve tried emailing them but no reply. Our local ham store (radioworld.ca) only sells in pieces as well.
