The PR781 isn't cheap though it is discounted at http://www.dxstore.com/heil_microphone.html at $139, though you still need a $33 cable to connect it to the radio - http://www.dxstore.com/heil_acc.html .
I bought all of my headsets and microphones before I got my K3 in 2009. I still have a Shure 444D that I bought in 1970 or so which sounds very good with the K3. 73, Jim N7US -----Original Message----- > Someone suggested the Heil PR 781 as a good choice. The Heil PR-781 is grossly overpriced. Any quality dynamic mic will work very well with the K3/K3S. For a hand mic look at a Kenwood MC43S (connector matches the K3) or Shure 514B or 596B ($43 at B&H Photovideo). For a "stick" mic to be mounted on gooseneck/boom, look at a Shure PGA48 ($35 at B&H Photovideo). If you need an "off the shelf" amateur mic, the Kenwood MC60A works fine if you keep the internal preamp turned off (otherwise it requires a minor rewiring of the mic plug). Other manufacturers communications/paging mics can be substituted for the Shure but they are a good value for reasonable quality. 73, ...
