Interesting...I felt this from the days of the shootouts, but stayed somewhat quiet back then. Kind of like if they're happy and you got them Q5, why be the old guy.

Joe is a retired broadcast engineering manager, I'm retired from four decades in pro audio, including work as a recording engineer. I'm also a member of the AES Standards Committee and the Working Group on Microphones. > otherwise Heil would not be in business. Heil is in business for the same reason that Bose is in business -- they spend a lot of money on advertising, and their customers don't know enough about the product they are selling to know they're being suckered. In the audio biz, we say of Bose, "better sound through marketing." The same applies to Heil. When I got back on the air in 2003, I was still very busy running my audio biz, so I bought a used K2/100, which came with a Heil PTT mic (MH2). I opened it up and found an inexpensive electret capsule that couldn't have cost more than a buck or two wedged into an opening with a piece of foam behind it. 73, Jim K9YC ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__mailman.qth.net_mailman_listinfo_elecraft&d=AwMCAg&c=8hUWFZcy2Z-Za5rBPlktOQ&r=sJF6P5kPtoOq-4ibyL6MxBDxCHbuqOBlbl_K1oh3QFQ&m=Odk52Hj43c0fw3PqDY789vO-8a9LbCw0pNbI6ROwxIo&s=TPWWQp3O_bUTZejhncCdPe8uokWmg6hb8xvVNycioo4&e=> Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__mailman.qth.net_mmfaq.htm&d=AwMCAg&c=8hUWFZcy2Z-Za5rBPlktOQ&r=sJF6P5kPtoOq-4ibyL6MxBDxCHbuqOBlbl_K1oh3QFQ&m=Odk52Hj43c0fw3PqDY789vO-8a9LbCw0pNbI6ROwxIo&s=M7Wy3q_c_Qqh13nmDbQu8gO3ln4nf6xJKXM3MS5x0o0&e=> Post: mailto:[hidden email]</user/SendEmail.jtp?type=node&node=7604655&i=0> This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.qsl.net&d=AwMCAg&c=8hUWFZcy2Z-Za5rBPlktOQ&r=sJF6P5kPtoOq-4ibyL6MxBDxCHbuqOBlbl_K1oh3QFQ&m=Odk52Hj43c0fw3PqDY789vO-8a9LbCw0pNbI6ROwxIo&s=VamAsj_G5fmBxsniAUmtQVdDOBvU2ihvxniKnLzjAs8&e=> Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.qsl.net_donate.html&d=AwMCAg&c=8hUWFZcy2Z-Za5rBPlktOQ&r=sJF6P5kPtoOq-4ibyL6MxBDxCHbuqOBlbl_K1oh3QFQ&m=Odk52Hj43c0fw3PqDY789vO-8a9LbCw0pNbI6ROwxIo&s=kKmSnmbwKWCplWdIlbhlMr330448_UTOdKcqTgkF9fw&e=> Message delivered to [hidden email]</user/SendEmail.jtp?type=node&node=7604655&i=1> ________________________________ If you reply to this email, your message will be added to the discussion below: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/Microphone-Qusestion-tp7604628p7604655.html<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com_Microphone-2DQusestion-2Dtp7604628p7604655.html&d=AwMCAg&c=8hUWFZcy2Z-Za5rBPlktOQ&r=sJF6P5kPtoOq-4ibyL6MxBDxCHbuqOBlbl_K1oh3QFQ&m=Odk52Hj43c0fw3PqDY789vO-8a9LbCw0pNbI6ROwxIo&s=gQaJkCVfxdHm8q7GLaZgLmgcOp1PiIyzk_KBShX9pfI&e=> To start a new topic under Elecraft, email [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> To unsubscribe from Elecraft, click here<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com_template_NamlServlet.jtp-3Fmacro-3Dunsubscribe-5Fby-5Fcode-26node-3D365791-26code-3DYy1oYXdsZXlAaWxsaW5vaXMuZWR1fDM2NTc5MXwtMTk0NzI5MzA2Nw-3D-3D&d=AwMCAg&c=8hUWFZcy2Z-Za5rBPlktOQ&r=sJF6P5kPtoOq-4ibyL6MxBDxCHbuqOBlbl_K1oh3QFQ&m=Odk52Hj43c0fw3PqDY789vO-8a9LbCw0pNbI6ROwxIo&s=8n8A71PzdPg5_K_ojD6Q2cimwP_rNjT2srn1PlEE3Fc&e=>.
