Richard,

To my mind, "keying" is for CW, and a microphone is for voice modes.
So what do you want? A microphone to produce CW with the KX3 (paddles are easier to implement), or a microphone with PTT? If you want a microphone, look into the MH3, it is designed for the purpose.

Certainly other microphones can be made to work, but you will likely have to build an adapter.

I would like to see Elecraft take either the k2 or kx3 and turn it into a backpack unit.

case and all .... we need more lightweight field pack style radio.

I am currently designing a case to move my kx3 to with space for a battery.

the only issue I have thus far is due to the cables and the output from the bard having to add in right angle plugs and find a way to secure them when in the field.

I am keeping the kx3 in its case this is a drop down in case. that has the antenna mount on it and thus forth.

also is there a generic mic that would work withthe kx3 just for keying. I dont need the up and down right now...
?
