[Elecraft] Microphone suggestions for K3

[David Gilbert]

I completely agree.  For years I used various $20 computer headsets with 
electret mics with my K3 and my audio quality (both from reports and my 
own monitoring) was excellent. The audio response settings on the K3 
make that readily possible.

I use a CM500 now simply for the better quality headphones.  For the 
most part, any decent electret mic will rival any other more expensive 
(some of which are WAY more expensive) microphone people feel compelled 
to use.
