I've never understood the appeal of the Heil microphones. I've seen
lots of reports that they can be mechanical fragile, and literally ANY
electret microphone can be set up to work very well with a K3 or K3s. I
used cheap computer headsets for years and always got great audio
reports, and only switched to a Yamaha C500 because I liked the
over-the-ear headphones better. You can get great audio reports with a
Heil as well, but in my opinion you're paying for the name, not better
quality.

Dear Folks:
Although I'm primarily a CW op, and dabble in FT8 (sadly, sometimes
there's no one on anywhere else except for FT8), I'm thinking about
expanding my SSB presence on the bands. I have a K3s and would be
interested if anyone has a specific recommendation for a good
microphone? I'm thinking about one of the Heil microphones (either
the Heil Gold or the Heil HM-10XD) but am willing to look at anything
else someone may recommend.
Thanks and 73 de Bernie, KF0QS
