I have a KX3/PX3 shack at home, and rarely, if ever, take my KX3 into the
field. (I know, it's a field rig, but it's also pretty darned 'spensive!) I
have lots of other rigs for field use, some of which I built. For me,
that's half the fun. But I ADORE my KX3 at home. Because of my particular
needs

Yep, written product lit has always been wrong. It plugs straight into

If you want a hand-held, yes, a great choice. A preamp is NOT needed
with a K3, K3S, KX2, or KX3. All that is required is a properly wired
cab
I recently bought a CM-500 from B&H Photo (a recommended vendor). They were
advertising it as having a dynamic microphone, but that was wrong. The CM-500
still has, as it always has had, an electret microphone, which is well
supported by the KX3 (and many other Elecraft radios. It even comes wit
I’m not an audio expert, but I’d probably get a simple voice-oriented mic,
maybe an Electro-Voice 635A. If you need a preamp, the Rolls MP13 Mini-Mic
looks like a good match. It is a single-channel mic preamp with an unbalanced
output. You would need some sort of adapter cable to go from either

Just about any headset with an electret or dynamic boom mic will work

I have a Kx3, because I can take it to the field. But most of the time I
use it at the home shack. I recently got an amp to use with the KX3, but I
am getting tired of using the elecraft hand mike. I have a boom mount for
a microphone, but am finding out that the KX3 does not handle a dynamic
