I get great reports from a Koss SB/45 headset. $25 delivered from
Amazon. I also have a $10 Logitech gaming headset that gets excellent
reports but it is not quite as comfortable and the Koss. Or my 50 year
old Shure 444.
You do not need to spend $200 for a mic to get great sounding audio
I use a Heil PR 781 with great success. The K3S TX EQ is set as follows;
-16 dB @ 50 Hz, -12 dB @ 100 Hz, -6 dB @ 200 Hz, and 2400 Hz @ +3 Db,
3200 Hz @ +6 dB.
Working distance to the face of the mike is 4" to 5" on axis {one fist}
so as not to enhance bottom end due to proximity effect,
good audio reports.
After 8 years I did recently splurge and upgraded to the Koss SB-45 which
works great. Russ, N3CO

Ah yes - a sow's ear into a silk purse can make the K3.
I have a woodworker nearby, built a perfect example of an RCA 44 -
except the internals are a RadioShack electret element. Runs it through
his EQ on the K3 and it sounds like the real deal. It is in use every
day and you cannot really
Us OT's can remember the times when microphone elements, like optics, were
largely hand-crafted. As such, the good ones tended to be expensive and
often fragile.
Nowadays, both optics and mic elements are manufactured using highly
automated processes that provide uniformly outstanding quality at
I use a Yaesu MD-100A8x 'desk mike,' but in a boom. Dynamic, no bias.

As a new owner of a K3S, I'm wondering what the mix of microphones being used
is. What mikes provide the best audio?

I can't say for SURE how my mic is going to work with a K3s, but it
works awesome with a fully updated K3.
Mine is a custom true condenser mic, suspended from a shock-mount on a
Heil PL2T boom, using a Canare XLR to feed the audio signal to a Mackie
ONYX Black Jack, 2-channel preamp, used for
Most microphones can be made to sound good using the graphic
equalizer in the firmware. Many people like the Yamaha CM500
headset. The general advise is to try what you have.
