What is wrong with the Elecraft mic that comes from Elecraft?

These SSB contests are indeed a joke!
Many signals are just terrible and as Jim K9YC says they are due to dumb
Ops maladjusting radio/amplifier settings NOT bad or unsuitable non
competitive microphones.
The mentality appears to be Maximum power, legal or not and Maximum
bandwidth, splatter or
On my K3 I use a 15 year old Heil HM05 which was used with my FT-847
before buying the K3. The Red Kenwood mic cable was purchased as it
has pin-compatible connector for the K3.
I bought the MH3 for my KX3.
I get great audio quality reports with both mics on both SSB and FM.

Nothing except perhaps might be expensive to buy if you already had a
mike you were using with another rig or had a spare, or you do not want
a hand mike.

One of Elecraft's 'thing's', features etc has been the ability to

Yes, I did that earlier this year and it's bugged
me ever since ;-)

Let me add my 2 cents.
I heard so much crap audio this weekend, that all I can recommend is that
you use a Mic element purpose designed for the job of SSB QRP
communications. I have recordings of good and bad examples that I will
assemble into something useful at some point.
I heard guys with

Is this the one you are talking about?

Yes, there are a lot of bad SSB signals on the air - excessive
compression and excessive mic gain leading to splatter and
unintelligible signals.
With the K3 and KX3 TX EQ, there is no need to be particular about the
microphone. The K3 and KX3 have the means to make most any microphone

WRONG. The crap audio was almost universally due to cranking everything

I agree, though the CM500 isn’t that bad for backpacking, and I go lightweight.
A KX3 with batteries is very close to one kilogram. A wire antenna adds another
100-150g. The CM500 is 300g. Some earbuds (haven’t weighed them) and an
Elecraft MH3 (138g) are lighter, but the difference isn’t a
I have several microphones on hand and wondering if any will work with my soon
to be order KX3.
My preference is a Heil Pro-Set Plus which has two crystal elements and a phase
reverse switch. By far the most comfortable headset I have ever use. Can I
use these with an appropriate adapter?
Hmmm….
For my operating needs I think I will just get the mike from Elecraft. I would
interested in knowing if anyone else uses the Heil headset with any luck.
I am looking forward to using my Bencher Hexkey to send PSK. That sounds like
a real hoot.

Take a look at the last paragraph of the following:

I am still happy with the mod I made and use the mic daily - always
getting great reports.

I think that's a wise choice, Tim. If you look
back into older reflector messages some have used
the mic-earphone combos successfully (e.g., the
Yamaha CM500) successfully. But getting the PTT
set up takes some fiddling and with the Elecraft
KX3 mic you're ready to go out of the box.

Tim,
You can use many headsets and microphones with the KX3 - *IF* you are
willing to build an adapter.
I have my homebrew adapter for the CM500 headset that works just fine,
but if you are not able/willing to build your own adapter, order the
Elecraft MH3 microphone - it works just fine.
