I believe the theory behind not including a mic is as you stated
Keith, that it's either going to be a CW rig or it's going to be users
with the owners favourite mic. In my case, I purchased the Heil K3
Proset - something I'd wanted to try anyway. I already have a Heil
HM10-Dual, but I'm not using it on the K3.
I did buy the fist mic for use in JOTA and such, but I haven't even
tried it yet.
I can see that it might be a little frustrating if you didn't realise
the standard K3 doesn't include a mic.

Well for 3 grand, I didn't think I had to order and pay extra for a
fist
mic. Kinda took the excitement right out of my sails.

I guess most new rigs come with mics, ea? The only radios I've ever
bought new were the K2 and K3 and I'm glad neither came with a mic.
I'm
a CW guy and I don't want to pay for a mic that won't get used.
Don't most people who are going to use SSB end up with a better mic
anyway? Maybe not, maybe many use the one that came with the rig.
