In reply to Milverton of no identity.
If you give it more thought, with an internal mic, it would remove the need for adding a mic to the rucksack when out /P, for which the KX3 is designed. Have you read Wayne's 4lb challenge? If you want to sit at home with a mic in hand, or a desktop mic weighing as much as the KX3 and natter to your buddies then you wouldn't be bothered by a pinhole on the fascia, unless dreadfully fussy. Lots of suggestions have been made for the KX3 so far and if they don't get applied to the KX3, maybe they'll be in the KX4. Anyway, it'll need to shrink a heck of a lot before it becomes a cellphone Hi! 73 Dave G3TJP _____ From: tnny...@yahoo.com [mailto:tnny...@yahoo.com] Sent: 03 May 2013 13:52 To: Dave Lankshear; Elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: Re: [Elecraft] KX3 internal microphone Are we buying a HF QRP Radio that has just about everything but the kitchen sink, not to mention the option of having 2 Meter module inside?

I'm looking at a camera right now and its mic orifice is only about half a mm in diameter and looking at the size of the camera, its whizzy in and out lens, battery et al, the mic must be very small indeed. Maybe a $20 retro-fit kit?
