Yes, you are right that it could be done that way, and I have thought about
that. But I do appreciate the suggestion. However, I would really like
something that is more portable and could travel with the K3. I consider
the K3 to be a very portable radio, and I intend to take it with me whenever
practical. I am thinking about something smaller and lighter than some sort
of desk attachment arrangement which would probably have a heavier gooseneck
as well. Kenwood, I think, makes a small desk microphone with a small
diameter gooseneck and small cartridge housing. I would like something
along that line if possible--small, lightweight, and easily transported.
Being able to attach it somehow to the rig seemed a good idea to me as it
could eliminate the need for a base or heavy table clamp arrangement.

What about a Heil with a desk mounted boom - the boom can mount direct to
the desk or be clamped on, at the back and 'lean over'

I would like to see some kind of gooseneck type microphone (perhaps with
the
"IC" element) that would easily attach and detach from the K3, or a K2.
Maybe some sort of brace or bracket that would clamp across the top of
the
K3, and had some sort of quick release. It would have to be padded so as
to
not mar the K3. The gooseneck would lock into some kind of clamp on top
of
the bracket, and be a quick release type also. The gooseneck should
probably be approx. 24 to 30 inches or so long (maybe more) so it reaches
from the rig to, or near, the front edge of your desk so you can easily
speak into it. You could further adjust the distance by where you place
the
bracket on the K3--either towards the front, or more towards the rear.
Then
you could swing the microphone into position or out of the way, but it
wouldn't add to the clutter on the desk in front of you.
