[Elecraft] Boom mounted Mike for a KX3

[John Pierce]

I have a Kx3, because I can take it to the field.  But most of the time I
use it at the home shack.  I recently got an amp to use with the KX3, but I
am getting  tired of using the elecraft hand mike.  I have a boom mount for
a microphone, but am finding out that the KX3 does not handle a  dynamic
microphone well.  So my dilemma for a dynamic  mike seems to be:  1- adding
a mixing board that will boost the output of the dynamic mike to acceptable
levels for the KX3.   2 -  Getting an inline mike amp and a 48v power supply
to run the inline amp.   The mixing board solution would work, but I don't
have the desk space for it.   For a condenser microphone solution, it would
need to operate off the 3v bias voltage from the KX3.  Does anyone have
ideas of how to solve my dilemma?.   Any solution would be a mike that will
mount on my boom mike arm.
