I don't know why anyone would spend that kind of money for Heil gear when there are better, cheaper, and more reliable alternatives. Buy a decent quality microphone boom (check out your local musician supply store) and almost ANY decent quality electret computer microphone. A $15 computer mic will sound as good on the K3 as any Heil mic.

I'm hoping to spend more time in my shack and I'd like some opinions or advice on a good quality boom and mike for the K3. I suppose I'd spend $300-$500 if I had to although that is on the top end. The use would be for operating on scheduled, controlled nets and rag chewing. As a point of reference, a friend has suggested the Heil PL2T boom and PR 781 mike. (He has a high-end Icom). I already have a couple of headsets and hand mikes so this inquiry is just on the boom and mike.
