Not sure why you would want to use a throat mike other than to annoy 
those with whom you communicate, :-) but these haven't been used in the 
military for 60 years.  Both the WWII Japanese and British ZA 13935 are 
dynamic mikes if you don't want to use carbon - the British model pops 
up occasionally in the usual places.
