Hi Gary:
I would very much recommend the Shure 444D desk microphone. The
resultant transmit audio using that microphone is so good that you will likely
not even have to use the transmit audio equilizer on your K3. You can usually
pick those desk mics up at flea market for reasonable price. I would definitely
stay away from those overpriced heil cartridges or mics if you want excellent
audio with any radios. I've been there and done that years ago and now use the
shure 444D desk mics with all of my rigs. If you look at the response curve on
that mic, it has a welcome boost around 2300 hz which is what you want in your
audio and gives it an excellent presence. When you get comments that your
transmit audio is great, then it is a good sign that you have it all ok.
Cheers from Fern

I don't want to seem like I am flogging a dead horse, but, has anyone found
a nice base Mic from Heil Sound that works nicely with a K3?
There are many choices ranging from the sublime to the ridiculous and all I
really need is a nice natural sounding base mic for the shack now that I
have a hand mic for field work sorted out.
I have a Silver Eagle that i can do the Heil cartridge change and although
it's still a new mic (last series made) I only want a simple base mic
without the clicks and clunks we hear so often these days. Also I am not
interested in destroying the bands with audio equalisers and such. They are
becoming a nuisance in Australia as the bandwidth they are consuming is
almost obscene.
So if anyone has any ideas it will be greatly appreciated.
Love the K3, still reading the manual but not had to reset yet....Elecraft,
you have every right to hold your head high and tell the world you built THE
RADIO....
