I've taken a number of old, cheap microphone housings (hamfest
acquisitions), and inserted an inexpensive electret cartridge. Every one of
them worked great! Truth is, I think you can probably buy most any electret
cartridge and get it to do just fine. Some may be a bit more responsive
than others, but I have yet to find one that doesn't do a good job. That
way you can pick and choose what housing you like. All the Elecraft rigs
provide the necessary bias right in the radios, so it is not a difficult bit
of surgery.
My favorite headset is the Yamaha CM-500, gut I've also successfully used
various computer headsets that are even cheaper. You just don't need to
spend a lot of money, unless you are looking for something special besides
the mic element itself. When it comes to headsets, I'm more concerned about
the headphone part. I've not had very good results from various Heils I
have around here.
