Agreed, Jim. I am constantly amazed at the money people will spend for
"top end" mics that perform no better with the K3 than the cheapest
electret computer mic. And some of those mics (cough*Heil*cough) have
worse durability than ANY $15 dollar computer headset I have ever
owned. I have bought several over the years for various computers in
the house and to compare fit on my head ... every one still works fine
and they all sounded great with the K3 once I played with the equalizer
a bit.
As you said, the readily available Yamaha CM-500 works great and its
price should probably be the upper yardstick for anyone contemplating a
new headset. I'm not saying that the Radiosport headset isn't a good
product, but it's practically hilarious to have a rig that is capable of
being tailored to sound great with almost any mic and then spend an
extra $200 for no practical reason.

Holy Cow, Rich - $269? you can buy 5 Yamaha CM-500s, and tailor the
audio as you want with the K3's excellent TX equalizer. They sound
wonderfultogether.

I'm interested in the Radiosport Headset.
The website (www.arlancommunications.com) recommends the electret
mic, however, I'm currently using a Heil dynamic mic which works
quite well.
If anyone is using the Radiosport headset I would appreciate any info
on which mic element you are using and how you like it.
Thanks
