[Elecraft] Recommendation for Microphone for K3s?

I also bought the Antlion Modmic.  Previously,  tried the CM500 and they 
caused my hearing aids to "howl" in feedback (not even connected to a 
radio).

The Modmic uses a tiny earth magnet that attaches to my revered old Sony 
stereo headset.  The mic boom clicks to the magnet securely.  I tested 
both normal and cardiod pattern settings with good reports with my K3.

Comes with two lengths extension wires, PTT module, and 1/4 to 3.5mm 
stereo adapter, all in a neat zipped carrying case (for when do not want 
a boom mic). Mic has wind-blast foam cover for operating outdoors.

I mainly bought it for using with my KX3 operating portable mw shots 
with small tripod-mounted dish on SSB.  Also, good for SSB Contesting or 
running a net when you want hands free for logging.

If I is was not clear - that i the beauty of the ModMic you can add it
to any headphones. And it does not damage the headphones and when you
remove the mic the attachment point is small and does not affect
the headphones in anyway.  So I can use my Bose on the airplanes and
then pop the mic on them when I get to the ham staiton.  And it easy
to take off when I am not on voice modes.
