Jim,
I can think of a few good reasons, the first is "one stop shopping."
That is, convenience. The second is, if the radio manufacture caries a
compatible product, you are assured that it will be configured correctly
and have the same general quality and performance levels. And while yes,
you could go direct to the manufacture, it's sometimes nice to have that
little funky "E" on an OEM version of the same thing. Every time you
raise a Icon, Yaesu, Kenwood or other "branded" mike to use it, the one
thing you'll be reminded of is the manufacturer. I would expect that
none of them make their own elements. I think the advertising value of
an OEM microphone alone is worth the trouble.
... IMNSHO (In My Not So Humble Opinion)...
Regards,

Why carry any microphones (or keys, for that matter)? Why act as a retailer
for any standard accessories that can be purchased from dealers or the
manufacturer? It seems a distraction to me.

Since the K3 is also compatible with the other Heil Proset boom mic
headsets that use the HC4 and HC5 elements, which model does everyone
like? Any favorite models?
Its not practical for us to carry them all, but I'd like to add at least
one or two of the more popular versions to our product list.
