[Elecraft] Recommendation for Microphone for K3s?

[David Gilbert]

I've never understood the appeal of the Heil microphones.  I've seen 
lots of reports that they can be mechanical fragile, and literally ANY 
electret microphone can be set up to work very well with a K3 or K3s.  I 
used cheap computer headsets for years and always got great audio 
reports, and only switched to a Yamaha C500 because I liked the 
over-the-ear headphones better.  You can get great audio reports with a 
Heil as well, but in my opinion you're paying for the name, not better 
quality.

73,
