Re: [Elecraft] DESK TOP MICROPHONE FOR K3
On a related topic, if you get one of the microphones, such as the Audio Technica that someone recommended, how do you mount it? Are there generic desk mounts or retractible boom mounts that don't cost an arm and a leg like most Heil products? Seems silly to buy a well respected microphone for a reasonable price then spend a fortune for a boom.

Don't have a K3 but I am looking for a desk mic for K2 that would meet the following: Mic base has DTMF tone pad - 16 button if possible, 12-button OK Off-the-shelf switch box and adapter cables for K2 (default Kenwood round) and !COM 8-pin modular - bad eyesight means that I can't make up these any more like I used to do.

I pull my old Shure 444D off the shelf and with the stock audio settings in the K3, I get good reports.

Re: [Elecraft] DESK TOP MICROPHONE FOR K3
Check out my video on UTUBE, California Hammin' The first few minutes shows the MB-3K Audio Tech mike with the boom mount. Very directional and great fidelity, works very well with the K3.

> I'm guessing the venerable Kenwood MC-50/60 would also work very well. Yes, the non-"A" version since the power pin is different. The A version works but one needs to keep the preamp off or use internal batteries. The K3 has such a flexible mic input that almost any quality dynamic or electret mic will work with the appropriate settings and perhaps a little EQ. 73, ...
