One minor (or for some, not so minor) detail - an Icom microphone will not work on the K3 without changing the wiring in the microphone plug. 73, Don W3FPR On 11/1/2012 2:32 PM, Barry Simpson wrote: > I use the Icom SM20 and am very happy with it. > > Barry VK2BJ > > On 1 November 2012 18:01, J

Go with the Audio Technica ATR-1300. It's only about $25 and it can't be beat. Dick WO1I At 07:32 PM 11/1/2012, Barry Simpson wrote: >I use the Icom SM20 and am very happy with it. > >Barry VK2BJ > >On 1 November 2012 18:01, Jim and Ann wrote: > > > Looking for recommendations for a desktop mi

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. Mel, K6KBE --- On Thu, 11/1/12, Gary Smith wrote: From: Gary Smith Subject: Re: [Elecraft] DES
