most ANY electret microphone element will be excellent for use with ham
radio. The Panasonic are among the most expensive ( 8pcs New WM-61A
Panasonic Electret Condenser Mic Capsule Mic ) on ebay
That leaves the case cord and plug for the "mic" factory to finish. Many
of the fake 'icom" mics I have bought on line have had the vinyl ( NOT
RUBBER) coil cord DISINTEGRATE into peices 3-4 years later. Never has
issues with switches or the cases. Remember some rigs , especially ICOM
need the higher output level found with an electret, as they are
designed / supplied with an eletret. Elecraft , in their wisdom,
provides enough gain so while electrets work, there is enough gain to
easily use a dynamic microphone. Remember when Heil sold microphones for
icoms that were way too low on gain. So bob then sourced mics with
electrets ( higher gain) for icom.
I spent 20+ years working under contract for ( in order) Sennheiser
1976-81; AKG 81-86 Shure 86-91...while I am not an engineer one learns
much along the trip.
