Is there an advantage to using a electret microphone over a dynamic mic for ham radio communication? Elecraft is the first transceiver that I have owned where either type will easily work.

No ham needs a boom mic headset better than a Yamaha CM500, which sounds great both in the headphones and one the air, is very comfortable, costs about $60, and has ZERO RFI issues. I'm a Fellow of the Audio Engineering Society, have a storage room full of great mics far better than anything Heil makes, do very serious contesting. and I've used nothing but the CM500 for more than ten years. What pro audio folks say about Bose applies equally to Heil -- "better sound through marketing." The CM500 plugs straight into the back of an version of a K3 (and probably a K4), and I'll be happy to list TXEQ settings that make it sound FAR better than Heil headset mics. 73, Jim K9YC ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
